Pickaway County, Ohio — As winter temperatures dip, the Vineyard Church of Pickaway County is stepping up to support those in need with the opening of a new warming center. The center is designed to provide a safe, warm space for community members who struggle to find shelter during the coldest months of the year.
In a message of compassion, the church encourages community members to embrace the spirit of kindness and justice, drawing inspiration from Micah 6:8, which calls for acts of mercy and humility. “Our warming center is not just about providing warmth for the body, but also for the heart and spirit,” said church representatives. “This initiative is a reflection of our mission to serve others with love and compassion.”
The warming center will be open on nights when temperatures fall into the single digits, offering a safe refuge for those in need. The hours of operation are from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. each night, and the center is located at 911 South Pickaway Street in Circleville.
The church invites the community to join in this mission by volunteering, donating resources, or spreading the word to those who might benefit from the service. “Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those who need it most,” the church said in a statement.
With this warming center, the Vineyard Church of Pickaway County is offering more than just shelter — it’s providing hope and support during the harsh winter months, walking humbly in the spirit of justice and mercy.
