She stresses the significance of their work, which aims to prevent deaths on the streets of Winchester due to severe weather conditions. Robyn also touches on the broader social issues contributing to homelessness and the critical support required to help individuals out of this plight. Michelle shares similar themes from her work with HARTS, noting how their shelter has transitioned from rotating locations to having a more permanent seasonal base at the Presbyterian Church. She reveals the struggles families face, especially single parents, and how social services play a crucial role in supporting these vulnerable groups. Both Robyn and Michelle bring attention to the misconceptions about homelessness and the diverse demographics affected, including children, elderly individuals, and those escaping abusive situations. They discuss the bureaucratic barriers that make it challenging for homeless individuals to regain stability, such as difficulties in obtaining identification documents. The conversation also delves into community involvement, emphasizing the importance of volunteers and donations. Both organizations need ongoing support through meal preparations, volunteering for events, and financial contributions to continue their vital work.

They empower individuals to re-enter the workforce and connect individuals to the resources needed to be as self-sufficient as possible while providing a safe, temporary shelter during extreme weather. In 2009, a group of faith-based leaders recognized there was a population of homeless adults who did not qualify for admission to other local shelter programs. Realizing these folks would be sleeping outside during the coldest weeks of winter and seeing a solution with their warm church buildings which were empty at night, WATTS was born. Since that time, WATTS has grown and expanded to meet the needs of homeless individuals in our area. Today, they provide 21 weeks of overnight shelter from November to March, along with a daytime Warming Center in the winter, and a daytime Cooling Center in the summer. They've also added a Transition Out of Homelessness Program, with staff members who work year-round to assist guests in ending their homelessness.

Our conversation for United Way Day with United Way Northern Shenandoah Valley's CEO, Kaycee Childress, included Robyn Miller (Executive Director) and Cindee Steele (Communications & Community Outreach Coordinator) with WATTS (Winchester Area Temporary Transitional Shelter) to talk about their organization. WATTS is a low-barrier shelter, meaning they will take ANYONE who is homeless, regardless of sobriety or criminal background.  For this reason, the shelter is for ADULTS ONLY and all volunteers must be at least 18 YEARS OF AGE. The shelter can house up to 35 guests each night on cots that are cleaned and moved each week to the next host location (typically local churches.)  Many people come in to volunteer their time, efforts, and various talents to guests, providing meals, necessities, fellowship, haircuts, music therapy, and medical services, just to name a few. We discussed a range of issues related to homelessness, including the challenges faced by homeless individuals, the importance of providing a support system and services, and the funding of these services. We also touched on the issue of housing affordability, particularly for the ALICE population, and the efforts of organizations to address these issues through fundraising and collaboration. Robyn explained the operations of the Market Street United Methodist Church warming center and the evening shelter. The warming center is located at Market Street and is open Monday - Saturday from 7am to 2pm, and Sundays from noon to 6pm, and is available to anyone. The evening shelter, rotates between different churches in Winchester, Frederick County, and Clarke County. People can arrive between 6pm and 7pm (or catch the bus at 21 W. Cecil Street) and their spot is guaranteed as long as they return. Meals for the shelter are provided by local churches. Robyn also mentioned that donations of certain items, such as underwear, socks, and coffee are always welcome for the shelter's guests. We discussed the increasing homelessness problem in our area, highlighting WATTS' efforts to serve the needs of over 300 people last season. Robyn noted their expansion of the warming center also exposed them to those who were previously not served. Kaycee & Robyn emphasized the influx of newly homeless individuals, who are local and have lost their housing for various reasons. Before we wrapped up our conversation, Cindee & Robyn shared details for their "Coldest Night of the Year" fundraising event scheduled for February 24, 2024, which aims to raise funds and awareness about homelessness by simulating harsh winter conditions. The event includes a walk (through a portion of the MSV trails and downtown Winchester) and a simple soup kitchen. They set a goal to make the event the most attended one in the country - with over 400 participants in the previous year -  they're aiming for 700 this year. You can register and get more details here: https://cnoy.com/location/winchester Robyn also explained that it takes over 3000 volunteers to operate their shelter and warming center each season and encouraged listeners to consider giving of their time.

Our conversation today with Jenna DeHaven, Director of Advancement for United Way Northern Shenandoah Valley included Robyn Miller, Executive Director of the Winchester Area Temporary Thermal Shelter. Robyn gave us the history of her organization and talked about the important role it plays for the homeless in our community. She explained how the overnight shelter works with support from local churches. The overnight shelter has operated from November – March every year since that first season in 2009 (even during the COVID-19 shutdowns!)  WATTS is a low-barrier shelter, meaning they take ANYONE who is homeless, regardless of sobriety or criminal background.  For this reason, the shelter is for ADULTS only and volunteers must be at least 18 years of age.  The shelter can house up to 35 guests each night on cots that are cleaned and moved each week to the next host group location.  WATTS owns the cots and linens, which are laundered each week and stored during the off-season.  Some of the host groups have shower facilities for guests to be able to clean up.  Many people come in to volunteer their various talents to guests, such as providing haircuts, music therapy, and medical services, to name a few. In addition to the overnight shelter they provide, seasonally they operate warming/cooling centers from Market Street UMC (131 S. Cameron Street, Winchester.) The Warming Center gives homeless individuals a safe, warm place to sit for a few minutes or a few hours to warm up from the cold.  WATTS offers snacks and warm drinks daily and has breakfast and lunch offerings on various days, provided by generous volunteers!  Open during the coldest months - December through March - Monday - Saturday from 7am - 2pm and Sundays 12 noon – 6pm. The Warming Center also serves as the bus stop/pick-up point to go to the overnight shelter for the weeks when the host location is NOT a downtown, walkable church. The Cooling Center gives homeless individuals a safe, air-conditioned place to sit for a few minutes or a few hours to help cool off from the heat.  WATTS offers snacks and refreshing drinks daily and has lunch offerings on various days, provided by generous volunteers!  Open during the hottest summer months - July and August - from noon to 5 pm. Robyn also told us about their Transition Out of Homelessness program which offers staff to help guests with things such as obtaining birth certificates and identification, assisting with job applications, forms for Centralized Housing Intake, and apartments, applying for Medicaid, Medicare, and SNAP benefits, information and placement in drug and alcohol detox/rehabilitation programs as a few examples. She explained that falling into homelessness is easy and can happen quickly; getting out is much more difficult and complex.  Her team works with guests to set simple, achievable goals, and then serve in a case manager-type role to help guests achieve those goals, with the ultimate objective being to assist guests on their path to a safe, stable future. Before we wrapped up our conversation, Robyn told us about their first annual Coldest Night of the Year (CNOY) Walk beginning at 4pm on Saturday, February 25, 2023. It's a FUNdraiser that culminates in a Walk that happens every year in February in cities all over North America. The walk is held in February (a typically snowy and often frigid month) to allow folks to step outside the warmth and comfort of home and experience a little bit of what it might be like to be homeless – the purpose of the walk is to raise awareness and funds for people experiencing hurt, hunger, and homelessness. It works similarly to Relay for Life or the Out of the Darkness Walk to fight suicide, where you commit to walking and ask family, friends, etc. to sponsor your mileage. Walkers, teams, volunteers, and donors are needed. ANYONE can participate in this event – the routes (choose the 2k or 5k) are within Winchester city limits, on sidewalks, with easy intersections. Click here for more information or to register. Jenna encouraged listeners to consider volunteering to serve on United Way's fund distribution panels to be part of the decision-making process of distributing the funds that are raised through the campaign each year. You can find more information by clicking here. She also reminded us of the Rubbermaid Sale happening on Saturday, January 28, 2023 from 9am - 12pm in the Belk parking lot at Apple Blossom Mall.

Jason Rulo has owned a personal training company since 1999, but 6 years ago he had an idea for a new product so he decided to branch out and invent the Neptune. Jason is a competitive obstacle racer and has been for the past 10 years or so. It was during one such event that his idea for a waterproof human thermoregulation system was born. From there he started Neptune Performance Products LLC, an E Commerce company to promote and sell the Neptune. In this episode… Jason Rulo has been a competitive obstacle course racer since 2010 including everything from 5k to Ultra distance races. He has had the opportunity to represent the US four times at the Obstacle Racing World Championships; placing 15th in his age group in 2021. In addition, he has participated in every World's Toughest Mudder since 2012. It was during this event in 2015 that the idea for The Neptune was born, and making its debut at the 2016 event! Since then, this fantastic innovation of a patented waterproof, long-lasting human thermoregulation system has been tested time and again proving its durability. In this episode of The Fit Growth Machine Podcast, Brian Roisentul interviews Jason Rulo, the President of Neptune Performance Products, about how he came up with his idea for a waterproof human thermoregulation system and how he was able to make it a reality.

Transpower says power supply remains tight this morning, following last night's blackouts across the central North Island and Marlborough. The national grid operator says electricity demand touched an all-time high last night and asked lines companies to reduce their load. Thousands of people were without power for parts of the evening as companies responded to this request.

During Stewardship Month, members of St. George's share their stories of Grace & Gratitude. Our second story is from Gregor and Heather Schoenberg. Heather and Gregor have been at St. George's for 1 year since Sunday, are heavily involved in music, and are long-time United Church people.Romans 12:9-21Testimony: Heather & Gregor SchoenbergPreacher: Rev. Ryan SlifkaTestimony Here are Gregor & Heather's notes.· Unlike Roberta, we have been here at St. George's a very short time, just one year! Our roots are strong in the United Church, however.· Married in Anglican Church with RC Priest in attendance· We knew from the start we wanted to belong to a church community· Tried numerous Catholic, Anglican and independent churches in our first few years in Calgary – could not find a good “fit.”· Moved to Varsity and met Darlene who suggested St. David's United…numerous times over several years.· We finally showed up at St. David's on a late summer Sunday in 1993 when the service included a small group of families doing a short musical called Cool in the Furnace. Found out the plan was to do Joseph the following year – this intergenerational group was called the Genesis People, and we participated in the musical that year…and for many years after. · The group was really about building community – one year you could have a big part in the show, and the next year you could be building and painting sets. It was all about participating with your family in a larger group effort. Truly magical times.· The United Church provided space for my questioning, diverse musical opportunities and a community of like minded people. Our kids were in the children's and youth programs, Gregor and I were in the choir and a marriage care group.· In the ensuing years, Gregor's music led us to several other churches, and our son Geoffrey also worked as a youth leader in other churches in Calgary. · Nevertheless, we still called St. David's “home.” (Although sorting out Christmas Eve service attendance did become somewhat challenging!)· We moved overseas for a few years, and even found a “Uniting Church” home in Brisbane Australia! (Very similar to Canadian United churches.)· So, when we arrived in Cumberland last October one of the first orders of business was to check out churches. We had attended service at Comox United, so we decided to check out St. George's…one year ago today.· We liked the music, we liked Ryan's message so we were feeling pretty good about things. And then, St. George's “radical hospitality“ kicked in. Alison Mewett said hello to us from the pew behind, and Rosemary Carnahan made sure we came for coffee..Ryan stopped by and chatted with us for at least half an hour. He suggested we drop in to choir rehearsal the following week. We felt both valued and welcome.· Eve Mark, of course, welcomed us to the choir. Beyond that, she encouraged us to participate in after choir “beverages.”· I was invited to the UCW Christmas dinner where the hosts ensured I had someone to sit with.· I was also struck by the humble service of the church…for example, the Sonshine lunch program, the Coldest Night of the Year walk, and thought “ This is a place that embodies the spirit of Christ.” I know now that a church that holds Christ's teaching as its centre is the place for me.· Gregor's comments – for me, music is often a critical part of the church service. When the spoken word (readings, Minister's sermon) is reinforced, amplified, or contrasted with the content of the music, a more powerful message can be delivered. Being able to participate in that process continues to be a source of immense personal involvement for me, and it is something I am deeply committed to. · This was something I noticed at St. George's right away – a strong commitment to having music be an integral part of the service. SermonOne thing I love about these testimonies is the variety of scriptures people choose. Everyone's got their favourite. And it's always a fun challenge to find the connections between testimonies and the scripture.Heather and Gregor chose Romans 12 verses 9-21. It's this long exhortation at the end of Paul's letter to the church in Rome. It's a letter to one of the earliest Christian communities, one of the first-written records in the New Testament.Now it's likely that Paul wrote this letter because this gaggle of early disciples just couldn't get along with each other. They couldn't get along with each other, or the secular community around them. Resentment inside church walls, hostility out on the street.[i] So Paul's writing all of these directions to love one another, live peaceably with neighbors, escaping their own arrogance and loving enemies because these folks were doing the exact opposite. These are church people behaving badly. Which was almost always the case in the New Testament whenever Paul puts pen to paper.Now I don't get the sense that Heather and Gregor chose this text because they figure we as a church need a proper scolding, or a good talking to. If so... we fell for your trap. Well played!No, if you were paying attention, you'll have heard echoes of the story Paul tells in their story.In Calgary they tried many churches, but it was St. David's United Church that fit. There they and their children were drawn into gracious and open-minded community. One where they could share their talents, especially musical ones, all towards a common purpose. And at St. George's it looks like they were virtually mugged from the moment they stepped in the door. Smothered by hospitality. Welcomed by the same love on Sunday that the church seeks to extend in its outreach ministries for the rest of the week.You get the sense that Heather and Gregor's experience with the United Church of Canada in general, and St. George's in particular, has reflected the end goal of this text in some way. They've experienced love, and mutual affection. Hospitality extended to them as strangers. Generosity towards those in need, association with the lowly, the least, the last and the lost. Paul doesn't include a place where you can share doubts without fear, and questions are honoured. But it could probably find a place under his order to outdo each other in showing honour, and not pretending to be wiser than we are.Certainly, no church perfectly lives up to this description. I mean, we wouldn't bother with a prayer of confession every Sunday if we actually did. But in their story we hear echoes of Paul's story. Of genuine love. Of evil overcome with good. On our best days beautiful things can and do happen. Gregor and Heather's story shows us the huge difference it makes when communities of faith can actually pull off some of this stuff. Even if just one or two. Even for a just little bit. It makes a fine advertisement for St. George's and the United Church as a whole. Maybe Gregor can write a punny jingle. If you know Gregor, his love for puns and dad jokes is maybe only rivaled by my own.Of course, this testimony isn't only an advertisement for St. George's, or the United Church of Canada. All of the good stuff Paul directs the Roman Church to do in this letter is in response to all the good stuff that God has done for them in Jesus Christ. Holding fast to the good, rejoicing in hope, patience in suffering, hospitality, love of enemies. The kind of community they can be, the quality of life they can live is all thanks to Jesus, who opened the door for them to a new way of living. One Paul calls “life in Christ.”Which is to say we haven't pulled off any of the stuff Gregor and Heather shared by ourselves. Or for ourselves. All the good we've been able to do as the church is thanks to the source of all good. Every sandwich we share at the soup kitchen comes from the same heavenly table. And the love we show to eachother is in all in response to the One who first loved us. Everything Heather and Gregor have shared with us is an extension, a manifestation of God's grace on earth as it is in heaven. To paraphrase Paul in another one of his letters—we plant the seeds, we water the garden. But it's God who gives the growth.[ii]So you could say that this isn't just a quality advertisement for church. It's a glossy billboard for the grace of God. And the life that is given to us already in Christ. Maybe Gregor could write a punny jingle for God, too.If you've been around for a while you probably already know this. So here's another opportunity to yet again give God thanks. For Gregor and Heather and their many gifts. For the United Church. And for all the ways you've experienced life in Christ at St. George's.And if you haven't been around for a while. If church, if faith is new for you—maybe you're getting a sense of what you might be missing out on. Maybe this something of a holy nudge to go deeper. To connect regularly through worship, group ministry, or otherwise.Either way, we're given a glimpse of the life that's possible in beloved community. The kind of life that's possible in the company of people like Gregor, people like Heather, and so many others. The kind of life that's possible in the presence of the living God.And so in the words that Paul ends this letter with. “To the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever!”[iii]Amen.[i] Though this point is disputed, I believe it is likely that a community conflict of some kind was the occasion for the letter (as in the case of most of Paul's letters). For an overview of viewpoints see Michael Gorman, The Apostle of the Crucified Lord: A Theological Introduction to Paul and his Letters (Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 2004), 338-411.[ii] 1 Corinthians 3:7.[iii] Romans 16:27.
