The Sleep Out 2008

On November 15th, Plymouth Creek Christian Church (Plymouth, MN) will again be hosting a sleep out location for the Interfaith Outreach & Community Partners annual fundraiser. (IOCP is the social service organization that serves the cities of Hamel, Long Lake, Medina, Medicine Lake, Minnetonka Beach, Orono, Plymouth and Wayzata.)

IOCP has been very pro-active in helping individuals/families stay in their homes as well as working with CommonBond Communities, Habitat for Humanity, and Outreach Development Corporation to increase the number of affordable housing units in the area.

Pick up a pledge sheet from the Mission Corner of the Welcome Table at Church or online from http://www.plymouthcreek.org/ or http://www.iocp.org/ then start collecting your sponsors!
You will need to supply your own sleep shelter (large cardboard box or tent). More information on what to bring and what to wear will be available at the Mission Corner or on the IOCP website.

We will have breakfast together (everyone is welcome for a free will offering) before attending Sunday service.

For more information about joining us or making a donation, call or email Laurie Leonhardt (763 546-1525 or lleonhardt@comcast.net).
