Church of the Manger United Church of Christ

Winter Housing of the Homeless

Church of the Manger is one of the 11 churches that took part in 2011 in the Bethlehem Ecumenical Sheltering System.  This year we housed 60 men for the Winter.  As many as 29 at any one time.  This is up about 50% over last year and about double from the year before.  Breakfast and dinner are provided to our guests prepared by members of the Church.  Movies and games are available to pass their time in the evening.  A snack is given to those who would like to take with them as their day begins and they leave the church.
