CIHN by Marci Linde
Looking for a New Co-coordinator for CIHN
The Cheyenne Interfaith Hospitality Network is a collaborative ministry who serve others by responding to the needs of homeless families with children. The Network uses churches to provide overnight housing for families. We need volunteers throughout our host week to help in various ways, such as helping transport, cooking meals or just staying in the church. If you are interested in helping, our next rotation will be from March 21 through March 28, please contact one of the CIHN coordinators.
We are looking for a new co-coordinator to assist Jim Gaulke as I will no longer be able to serve as co-coordinator. This is a wonderful opportunity to honor your covenant to serve others. Please contact me or Jim if you would like additional information on this position.
We would like to thank all the volunteers in January who helped with our families:
Ilse Sorensen, Melanie Dutremble, Jenn and Kathy Jurgens, Andy Ruben, Beth Howard, Karl Linde, Thomas Redding, Pris Golden, Mike Shonsey, Arshi Nisley, Marianne Shoemaker, Tim and Elizabeth Thorson, John Sanford, Mohammed Salih, Joey VanSchaik, Stan Clapp, Luanne Gearhart, Carol Bowles, Sherri Philips, Sharon Wisroth, Bertha Bikulcs, Mary Kingston, Ken Vernon and Andrea Heater.
I would like to thank Marianne Shoemaker, Joey VanSchaik, Mary Kingston and Ken Vernon for their last minute assistance. I am especially grateful to Thomas Redding for all his support of the CIHN guests. I would also like to welcome new volunteers Ken Vernon, Sharon Wisroth, and Jenn and Kathy Jurgens.
Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Put Faith into Action
In the United States alone, more than 12 million children one out of every six live in poverty. The Women Build Program of Habitat for Humanity is giving women the opportunity to put their faith into action by building a home for a local family in need. Habitat for Humanity of Laramie County has partnered with over 75 hard working women to set into motion the first ever Women Build project in Laramie County. Women from all walks of life and of all skill levels will pick up hammers and power tools to help a local family in need build their home. We appreciate your prayers for our work. Volunteers, sponsorships, and donations are still needed. Please contact info@cheyennehfh.org for more on this exciting project!
