JOIN THE FAMILY
Jenny and Kerri.
What makes a family? They are the people that make a house feel like a home. They are the ones that journey through life with you, sharing laughter and support me, I know the importance of family. I need to feel connected to my family.
My pastor preached a sermon on family a couple of weeks ago, and support of family. They want to know the feeling of being part of a family. My pastor used an acronym during his recent sermon on family. As a member of Women of Compassion (WOC), I know the ministry of the FBCH helps hurting children experience FAMILY:
Fun
Dedicated house parents seek ways to help children have fun. Volunteers host game nights or donate gift cards for special outings.
Attention
Children receive the attention they need to know they are important. Children are tucked in with bedtime prayers and family devotion. After school, they are asked about their day. Volunteers tutor them.
Memories
In a stable and holiday festivities become a part of their life for children at FBCH.
Inspire
Children are inspired and plans for their future. And, after hearing their testimonies at WOC events, these children inspire me.
Love
Children are told about the unconditional love of Christ. Their house parents model the love and compassion of our heavenly father.
Yield to God
The children at FBCH attend church faithfully and participate in age-graded programming. They are learning to yield to God, discovering that their heavenly father will never fail them.
A couple of years ago a friend invited me to a WOC conference. After attending the event and share our passion for helping children in need? Invite them to our Cups of Kindness Tea in February. They will see how they can be a part of unique family of women who have a heart for helping children.
Sisters in Christ,
