Look at the verses that are leading our meetings...
Isaiah 1:17
Learn to do right! Seek justice, encourage the oppressed. Defend the cause of the fatherless, plead the case of the widow.
James 1:27
Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
At our meeting, we discussed many different aspects to what an Orphan, Foster Care and Adoption Care ministry would look like, and we know God will lead us to respond to HIS calling on us at Cottonwood Creek. Basically, we all agreed on this simple fact - We desire to support, educate, counsel, and be an advocate for our church in orphan, adoption and foster care. This is a very broad, yet specific calling for us.
Please pray for us as we continue to meet together and define our role as a ministry. Look for our next meeting soon to come. Anyone is welcome to come and participate.
Blessings - Keith Tyler and Terra Towne
