Your presence is requested on Saturday, December 4th to help celebrate the 10th anniversary of the founding of the Room In The Inn ministry to the homeless in the Asheville community. The celebration will be held at Asheville’s First Baptist Church and will begin with a worship service at 4:00 pm. A viewing of silent auction items starts at 5:00, and a dinner will be served at 5:30. A live auction will then follow at 6:30 and the evening will conclude with that activity.
Tickets for the event will cost $10 for adults, $5 for children, and $24 will be the cap for a family ticket. Funds raised by the celebration will be utilized to help the RITI coordinator position to become a full time one in order to increase the process of moving homeless women into permanent housing.
All Souls was a key player in the initiation of this program ten years ago. Judith Whelchel, who has now returned to Asheville with her family after living in Chattanooga for a time, was one of the women who pioneered RITI. All Souls hosted the very first week of the program and continues to serve as a site four times each year.
If you are interested in helping with this celebration in big ways or small, please contact Susan and Mike Stevenson at 254-5227. Ticket information will be available in the church office.
