"The National Coalition for the Homeless, the National Consumer Advisory Board and the National Health Care for the Homeless Council encourage communities to host public events on or near December 21 remembering your neighbors who have died homeless in the past year. National Homeless Persons' Memorial Day takes place each year on the longest night of the year, December 21st."

I have participated in this event in Cheyenne ever since moving here. I think I have only missed once or twice due to scheduling conflicts. The weather has sometimes been incredibly brutal during the service. That has given me just a small glimpse into what the homeless feel on a daily basis. I cannot even imagine enduring the harsh winters here in Cheyenne without a having a safe refuge with food, water, dry clothing, heat, and a sense of security.
I am posting this on my blog two days in advance of the event with the intent of inviting others to join us. It is a short gathering but quite profound. In Cheyenne, we will be at the Historic Cheyenne Depot Plaza from 12:00 noon to 1:00 P.M. You can see the details on this website:

Could attending this event impact the rest of your Advent journey in a significant way?
