Safe Families

Posted by Tom Welch on October 29, 2009 under News | Be the First to Comment

We have an opportunity to help families in crisis RIGHT NOW. Bethany Christian Services, primarily out of Chicago, has opened a chapter here in Central Florida. They are looking for 10 qualified families right here in our community who can serve families in crisis as intervention prior to children entering the Foster Care system. It is a chance to help families in crisis to regroup and refocus and bounce back, taking care of the kids so that can happen.

SO, WHAT CAN WE DO?

* Share with your friends and church family about the need for 10 families by the end of the year.
* Invite those families interested to come to a mtg on November 10th at HOUSE BLEND CAFE.
* Supper starts at 6pm. The info session begins at 6:30.
* It’s an amazing chance to be a home and to be hope and to be a mentor to children in crisis and to to a family in need.
* CONTACT ALISON (ASchminke@bethany.org) with Bethany Christian Services to RSVP for the meeting on November 10th.

Before 2010 begins, we have the chance to prepare to be the church to families in crisis.

O Lord, to pour out my heart I have to know my hearts needs. I also have to know, without question, your willingness to be “poured upon”. And yet who would ask another to “pour out your heart to me”, but one filled with love and compassion?
