Our TGC Youth will be partnering with Covenant House to organize a Sleep Out. Covenant House provides shelter, resources and long term help to young people experiencing Homelessness. A Sleep Out is an event where people give up their beds for a night to raise money and awareness for teenagers experiencing homelessness in our City. This is an opportunity for the young people of our youth group to grow in compassion for and stand behind young people in our city experiencing Homelessness.

As students help to fundraise for the cause they will learn more about homelessness in our city, and have their hearts and minds opened to Gods heart for young people experiencing homelessness in our city.

Two of the guys in our Running, Rights and Land program currently live at Covenant House, and we are thankful for this organization for providing them with a safe place to stay.

This event is open to students in middle and high school. We will provide chaperones to attend with them from TGC leaders and parents. If you are interested in being a chaperone or attending with your child, you are more than welcome, just let us know.

This event will be held in the enclosed garden of the Park Slope United Methodist Church (410 6th Ave, Brooklyn) from 7PM Friday November 8th until 8am Saturday Nov 9th.

There will also be an option to pick up your kids at 11pm if they are not able to spend the whole night out.
