Tenn. (UMNS) - With the nation's economy still resisting recovery,
churches are eager to help the unemployed. Here's how a few are doing
it:
· Weekly seminars. Topics generally range from networking to negotiating for the highest salary to owning your own business.
·
Support groups. Frequently incorporated with weekly seminars, these
groups give job seekers a chance to hear from those who found a job
after a layoff and learn how they dealt with unemployment.
· Work space. Some churches offer up their computers or fax machines when members don't have those things at home.
· Bills and rent. Some United Methodist churches have helped struggling families keep up with mounting expenses.
