Things You Are Probably Wondering About
Are you really going to sleep outside?
Yes. As will groups at about 50 other locations in DuPage County… just as they have for the past several years.
What if it’s really cold?
Then we’ll come inside. The definition of “really cold” is a bit loose. But be assured: if it’s not safe, we won’t do it. We will use the church as a warming house even if we do sleep outside.
Is it safe?
At least one adult will be awake and on watch at all times. The Elmhurst police department and the DuPage County Sherriff are aware of the event as well.
Can I come for just part of the event?
Yes, but we need to know about it in advance. No youth will be allowed to leave without a parent picking them up, even if they drove themselves to the church. Call Paul to discuss logistics.
If you have other questions… let me know.
