November 8 is Orphan Sunday!
Churches all across the world will be recognizing Orphan Sunday this year. I highly encourage you to find a church near you and get involved!
If you are in the Quad Cities IA/IL area you can visit us at First Assembly of God Church, 1811 18th Street, Bettendorf, IA at 9:00am or 10:45am. We will be collecting Journey Bags for children entering foster care in Scott County.
To put together a Journey Bag bring a new backpack with 1 item inside. This item can be a toy, pajamas, warm blanket, stuffed animal, game - any item that can be just for this child. Many children when placed in foster care are taken from their home with very little to call their own. They often do not even have a backpack for their items. This Journey Bag will be only theirs. The gift inside is just for them; a tangible way we can touch their lives and let them know people care about them. You can choose to make a journey bag for a boy or a girl and any age. If you would like to participate you can private message me on Facebook.
Visit The Forgotten Initiative website for more information on how you can make a difference for those in the Foster Care community!
And check out the Orphan Sunday website to find a church near you and to find out how you can get involved on Orphan Sunday!
Be Blessed,
Brie
