I need your help. This fall we are planning for the next year. The new construction is opening doors of opportunity for Open House to expand programs for our families. When I was in the program years ago, I received life changing classes and guidance. Years later my children shared tht they felt left out because the emphasis was on adult education. This year I am committed to change that. In the upcoming year 2017-2018, our focus is on family. And to do so, I need your help.
This month we are gathering information about other successful Christian programs for families with children, from our community and around the globe. If you know about a successful, proactive program, please write me, drop me a note, send an email to 4theFamily@sheltered.org, or leave a comment on our website at www.sheltered.org. Let’s join hands in giving the children a hand up to a brighter future.
God bless you~
