Claire Anton, Chairman of Pender's Hypothermia Shelter, Ken Ferris, Center Lay Leader and Rev Will White, pastor talk about Pender Night on the Streets.

On Friday, March 4th, adventurous teens and adults from the Pender Youth and Scouting groups spent the night out on the church grounds to briefly experience homelessness.

Rev. Will White, Minister Howard Finley, Ken Ferris (Lay Leader), and our scoutmasters accompanied them, while surprise guests appearing periodically throughout the evening.

This band of brothers and sisters did not be enduring long-term poverty—but in a very small way, our Christian Community has chosen to endure a portion of those struggles for one night to facilitate empathy and understanding.
