Thanks to all who helped with ESP!

An excerpt from the upcoming Bell Tower:

During two cold weeks this snowy winter season, January 10--16 and February 21--27, we were honored to have a nightly average of 25 guests dine with us and stay overnight. This year we hosted for two weeks, January 10-16 and February 21-27. Many thanks to all the excellent cooks and enthusiastic shoppers, servers, chaperones, lunch packers, and cleaners who helped this year. I think we can
all agree that it was a highly rewarding labor of love.
--Paula Wiles Sigmon and Mary Jane Karger

And a note from Paul Alcorn, Pastor of Bedford Presbyterian Church (and coordinator of ESP congregations):

Thank yous...
To the Congregational Church in Chappaqua and to the Presbyterian Church of Mt. Kisco for hosting the shelter the past two weeks. This week the shelter is being hosted by St. Marks in MK.

Mel Berger tells me that our numbers have actually gone up this past week with a number of new faces and a head count reaching 29 one night. We will keep upcoming congregations informed about numbers as we move into our final month of the program for this year.

Other news to report...

* Jose Diaz takes his final road test this Friday. We hope he passes so that he can begin to drive the bus.
* I was in touch with Courtney Darts of the ProBono Partnership this morning. The lawyers at Nixon-Peabody sent them a revised draft of an agreement for ProBono to reveiw and make comments about which they did. Nixon_Peabody is now working on a draft to send to us for us to review. I will be in touch with them to see when they think that draft will be ready.


To that, I'll add my THANK YOU!!!

--Jack Lohr, Interim Pastor
