2004 Peacemaking Offering—03Oct04
Peacemaking Sunday is the day when churches throughout the Presbyterian Church (USA) take up a special offering that is used to promote peace around the world. Our Peacemaking offering will be used in the following ways:
- (25%) Park County's Crisis Intervention Service in Powell
- (25%) Synod of the Rocky Mountains for peacemaking activities
- (50%) General Assembly for global peacemaking efforts.
The Crisis Intervention Service (CIS) is located at 335 N. Gilbert in Powell, Although the main office is in Cody, there is a full-time person at the Powell facility along with three other staff members and a number of volunteers.
The Safehouse is located in this building. There are four bedrooms, a large living room, a kitchen and a laundry. The Safehouse is for any person or family who needs to leave their home due to domestic violence. They are provided a place to say, food and necessities for ten days. They also receive counseling and are assisted in making plans for when they leave the shelter.
Last June there were seventeen people that stayed at the Safehouse. Some stayed between 7 to 10 days.
