Is the church body setting the same example?
Christ’s love should compel us to love those who need it
most. Not because it’s easy or glamorous, but because He has called us to love
one another. “My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater
love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” John
15:12-13
Our MCG is excited to welcome Jim Carey from the Henrico
County Dept. of Social Services, this Wednesday night, February 15, at 6 p.m.
He is eager to help us better understand the foster care system and ways we can
help.
There are approximately 5,500 children in foster care in VA
alone. Most of these children need a temporary home and about 800 of them are
waiting to be permanently adopted.
How can followers of Jesus care for these children?
I hope you’ll join us this week as we explore the avenues of
respite care, foster care and supporting those involved in foster care.

WOW...you encourage ME! Looking forward to it:)
ReplyDeleteWow Ali, I feel really challenged reading this blog and I am going to pray about what our family's role is going to be in adoption/foster care. It is definitely fear that holds us back from getting more involved and that is not good. Love the blog.
