On October 8th a group from Flat Creek Baptist Church visited the Center for their GO Night outreach. We are grateful for the donations they brought for our Clothes Closet and their prayers as they toured our Center. Thank you to Rhonda Jones, our liaison with Flat Creek, for arranging the visit.
October 9th was the final class for our new study for single moms, Growing and Glowing, facilitated by Luci. Moms heard about God’s love for them, studied God’s plan for taking responsibility and where to go when help is needed, and learned how to practice personal responsibility. Susan Stohrer contributed by sharing the gospel and presenting each participant with a beautiful china cup and saucer as she explained how the china represents our value to God. Luci is shown with three of the clients who completed the course. Olayinka (on right) is continuing discipleship through our New Believers Bible study.
