I know you get a lot of invites via Facebook, etc, regarding our Forever Families Fellowships, and it may seem like "no big deal" to some. It's just a potluck, a park playdate, or swim party, right?
It is so much more.
It is a chance for our children, adopted, biological, and/or fostered, to see that they are part of a bigger story that God is weaving.
It is a chance for them to feel that they are not alone...their families are not the only ones who don't look like each other and celebrate the diversity God has blessed us with.
It is a chance for them to be around other kids who get it, who don't need to ask the questions they all get asked because they all know the answers to those questions.
It is a chance for them to form bonds that could be lifelong...to be OK with who they are and where they are from, to mentor the younger ones coming up behind them as they walk their life's journey and grapple with the big questions.
It is a chance for us, as parents, to step back and watch...and let God work amongst us.
So please come! Be a part of these stories! Let God use you, your smile, your encouraging words, to bless a little heart or three!
Email me at foreverfamily@the127call.org and I will send you a pool pass via email.
This Saturday, June 18th from 5-7 pm at Patterson Park Community Center's indoor pool.
Be there!!
