On January 30th, Focus on the Family and local placement agencies are cosponsoring an event at one of our local sister churches, CC FLL, to raise awareness of and recruit adoptive families for Florida’s legal orphans in foster care waiting for adoptive families.  We encourage you to go hear about God’s heart for these kids as well as the practical realities of a decision to welcome a child home.  Together, we can make a difference for the kids in Florida.

UPDATE: These agencies have recently been put in-charge of placing a number of kids from Haiti who were left orphans after the recent earthquake.  If you have considered adoption, this maybe the time to do it.

Trunk or Treat is the best non-scary candy gathering event of the year.  Kids parade from decorated car to decorated car gathering more candy in 30 minutes than you can get in any neighborhood.  Adults join the fun by decorating their car trunk instead of their front porch in a non-scary theme. We’ll triple the fun this year with Trunk or Treat after both Saturday evening services, KidStuf Productions during the services, and a movie on the lawn @ 8pm weather permitting.  Click here to volunteer to decorate your car.  Candy and cash donations accepted in the KidStuf building.
