Everyone can do something
to help orphans
Saturday, March 2, 2024
There are an overwhelming number of orphans in our city and in our world, but God has provided for us a number of opportunities to express his love for orphans, whether through adoption or some other form of relationship.
Join us for a Saturday conference as we discuss God’s heart and explore some of the opportunities to show God’s love for orphans, which are available to you regardless of your age or life-stage.

“Treasure”
“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Matthew 6:19-21
Our theme for 2024 is “Treasure” and we will talk about how we can view orphan care through this lens of storing up treasures in heaven. Loving vulnerable children is not easy, and it sometimes doesn’t bring the healing and satisfaction we hope for on earth. But as Christians and followers of Jesus, our treasures are in heaven, and we look forward to that hope being fulfilled one day when we are reunited with the Father.
