Have A Heart for Children 2018

 Thanks to our friends and community for attending and sponsoring our second annual awareness banquet:

 Have a Heart for Children

​With 139 people in attendance, representing 121 different churches, we raised over $14,522 towards our goal of $18,000. Fellowship was sweet, silent auction exciting, conversations deep and already people are taking steps to care for the fatherless children in our community and to support the families who welcome them into their homes"
