RELIGION THAT GOD ACCEPTS AS PURE AND FAULTLESS IS THIS: TO LOOK AFTER ORPHANS AND WIDOWS.”
James 1:27
3 Ways To Give Kids In Foster Care The Gift Of Belonging In The Season Of Giving
Is your church planning — or open to – inspiring generosity in your community as the year draws to a close. There is:
- A Sunday dedicated to National Adoption Month in November and encouraging people to open their hearts and homes to a vulnerable child?
- Giving Sunday special collection
- Advent and Christmas special collections to benefit a local nonprofit organization
We’d be honored to partner with you on any of these initiatives to remind people of the call in James 1:27 and to help meet a very real need to care for the thousands of children in foster care, through no fault of their own, who have no place to belong this Christmas season.
