Night Ministry
I walked around with the Night Minister last night. Had a great time. It was quiet (Tuesday), so he mostly oriented me to the Night Ministry, and to the neighborhood, and told me stories. We met a few people.
I felt safe. He's big. If I ever want to walk alone, I'll be allowed to, but not in the Tenderloin. They go out in other neighborhoods too.
I love the idea of being the presence of the church at night. It felt right to me. The only thing that really scares me is the crisis line--and I'll be trained before I'm on my own there.
So, a good beginning!
