Good morning and happy Monday, City Mission friends!

Paying It Forward for Avis
Paying it forward for blessings received is a frequent conversation in the Gray household. Bria, Rian and Jenna are pictured here with care packages for our residents in Avis Arbor. The care package bags contain healthy snacks and fruit drinks, and the Gray family's hope is that these goodies will brighten someone's day. The girls also took the time to write encouraging messages and draw pictures on each bag. Thank you, Gray family, for being so generous!
Sweet Sunday
City Mission's annual dessert festival, Sweet Sunday, will be held on
February 8, at the Hilton Garden Inn, Southpointe from 12:00 - 5:00 p.m.


The event has been going on for over 20 years now and this year is going to be even bigger and better than before! As City Mission's largest fundraiser and most anticipated event, all ages are invited to come for a very sweet day of fun and desserts. Dessert vendors range from youth, school and civic groups to professional bakeries and businesses. There are plenty of returning favorites and also some new groups. A special section called Kid's Korner, with entertainment, face painting and crafts, dedicated to kids. There are also regular and silent auction baskets and the ever-popular Wreath of Wealth. With live entertainment all day, desserts and lots of kid's activities, Sweet Sunday is definitely worth a visit. All proceeds benefit City Mission's programs and services ---and support our vision of ending homelessness one life at a time! 

Sponsorship opportunities are still available. Please contact Shelby Knapp for more information, [email protected], or (724) 222-8530 ext. 236.
"It's given me a lot of hope."
We met Jacob K. in December while he was serving in the kitchen. He told us that he had only been at the Mission for about a week, but that he was already starting to feel good about himself --- and was learning a lot about faith. "I feel free here. I have a new life. It's given me a lot of hope," Jacob said.

One of our staff members prayed with Jacob and was privileged to be present when he accepted Christ as his personal Savior.

We praise God for using our staff to minister to those we serve and
for your generous donations that allow us to continue this ministry!
