vides for them to live at Austin area churches while they find housing and get back ontheir feet.During the week of May 5th — 12th (NEXT WEEK!), four IHN families will live atour William Cannon campus and will be fed and sheltered by SHPC volunteers.This is your opportunity to help these families through this time of crisis. Tasksperformed by hosts (SHPC folk and members of Faith Presbyterian Church andAbiding Love Lutheran Church) include:
