Back-to-School Backpacks for Foster Kids
July 18th, 2010This morning in our worship service we heard about another ministry project in our Summer of Compassion: a project to bless some of the 200 foster children in the Waynesboro and Augusta County area with backpacks filled with back-to-school supplies. Caring for widows and orphans is part of the very foundation of the mercy we’ve been called to show as those who have received abundant and undeserved mercy and grace through Christ.
Do you remember the great joy of receiving a package, and discovering small gifts, one by one, and delighting in each one? As we fill these backpacks, let’s pray together that the foster children in our area would be filled with delight as they discover the treasures that will help them in school this fall.
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. James 1:27
