As Wes mentioned on Sunday, our church is joining other Asheville churches in the work of starting a local chapter of Safe Families for Children. Safe Families is a non-profit organization supported primarily by churches throughout the U.S. that aids socially isolated families to keep them together and prevent involving the foster care system. Those of us who want to get involved will work in teams becoming an extended family-like support for them. In addition to coming alongside families in crisis, the goal is to begin long term relationships that extend beyond the time of crisis into everyday walking together, friendship and hopefully faith.
Please join us on tonight, February 25th at 7pm for an online informational meeting. If you are already familiar with Safe Families we encourage you to invite others you know in the community who may be interested in joining this effort.
For questions, reach out to Wes and Bonnie Furlong at bonniefurlong@gmail.com, wes@redeemerasheville.com.
