No Room In the Inn
No Room In the Inn
No Room in the Inn is an annual appeal to Edmonton area churches that helps offer safe and affordable housing for the homeless. Many churches designate a Christmas time offering for this worthy cause. Is your church participating in the campaign?
The No Room in the Inn campaign will support Canadian Mental Health Association - Edmonton Region (CMHA-ER). CMHA-ER has been providing safe, affordable, long-term housing to individuals with mental illness for more than 40 years.
Citrus Court, one of six properties managed by CMHA-ER, houses 26 individuals and one family. With water damage in a number of units, it is in desperate need of a new roof. The funds raised by No Room in the Inn will contribute to the much needed roof replacement.

To date, more than 60 congregations from eight different denominations have raised over $700,000 for projects aimed at providing safe and affordable housing for those who are in greatest need.

Outdoor Way of the Cross
Outdoor Way of the Cross
The Outdoor Way of the Cross is an annual event held on Good Friday, each year in Edmonton's inner city. Faithful Christians gather to re-enact Christ's journey to His crucifixion two milennia ago. The object of the walk is to draw attention to local social issues and the fact that we are all responsible for their solution.
