Worship needs of residents are attended to and residents have a ready advocate and friend. Pastor David G. Berg, Diplomate, College of Pastoral Supervision and Psychotherapy, has served as our chaplain for the past four years. Mrs. Vieweg is volunteering one day each week at Lake Anne Fellowship House as she completes her required classroom work. This relationship with George Mason University can expand and attract other students to the culturally and educationally rich settings in our Fellowship Houses. The chaplaincy is funded by gifts to the Wegener Chaplaincy Fund.
Current gifts fall short of actual operating costs.
Short-term, we seek the funds to cover the operating costs of this significant program. Long-term, our goal is to establish the Chaplaincy on a full time basis. This money affords House Managers the means to provide emergency financial assistance to our neediest residents. This program is a benevolence of the Foundation which is not funded by rents, subsidies, or other Fellowship House operating funds. Grants to residents are not a form of subsidy or periodic stipend but are used in dealing with small, one time, unexpected resident needs or emergencies.
