ONE OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF OUR TRIP TO BALTIMORE

While we were in Baltimore to attend the 2004 Northeastern
UMW Quadrennial, we were privileged to visit the
Susanna Wesley House, a three-story red brick structure
in downtown Baltimore.

This is an apartment complex which provides a clean
bright living atmosphere for women with children who
need temporary housing while working actively "to get
back on their feet." It is but one of the 100 national
mission institutions of The United Methodist Church.

It was founded by United Methodist Women who continue
to have integral involvement in its ongoing ministry.
The operation of this program is a combined effort with
the Women’s Housing Coalition of Baltimore and is also
supported by the city of Baltimore.

To have and keep a stable job, you need a stable place
to live. One of the obstacles that confront persons
without a stable living situation is that when they
apply for jobs, it is usually difficult for them to be
contacted by their prospective employers.

At Susanna Wesley House, each resident has a voice mail
for receiving messages and has an access to a telephone
for returning her calls.

One of the "graduates" of Susanna Wesley House recently
scored the highest grade in her job-training program
and is seeking advanced certification. She is now
employed fulltime as a geriatric nursing assistant and
receiving benefits. Soon enough she will be on her way
to making it on her own.

As for the children, the United Methodist Women also
provide an after-school program. The Susanna’s Kids
Program offers tutoring, educational field trips and
snacks.

While touring the facility, we visited the computer lab
in the basement which is nearing completion and will
provide another useful service for the resident
families.

This excellent project just shows what wonderful things
can happen when we forget the boundries put up by
those who have tried to eliminate God and Christian
principles from our everyday life – and work together
to help those who just need a little boost to get on
track to being self-sufficient!
