Family Promise of Forsyth County, Inc. is Opening !!!!
It has been a busy
summer. Since the addition of our last church, the pieces of the puzzle
have come together.
- We have hired our Director, Jacob
Granados.
- We have had two wonderful concerts
to help raise funds.
- Training for the Board of Trustees,
Director and Volunteer Coordinators was completed by National Family
Promise.
- The Second Annual Bed Race and
Festival was held at Creekside United Methodist Church.
- With the money raised, and
donations (especially one very large donation from Sawnee Woman's Club),
we were able to purchase a mini bus from Midway United Methodist
Church.
- Gwinnett County Family Promise
"gifted" us with a box van to transport our beds.
- Thanks to the wonderful "Partnership"
with The Place, our Day Center will be at their location.
October 2nd will
be the first week we host families, with Cumming First United Methodist Church
acting as the Host Church. We are really excited to finally open the
doors to Family Promise of Forsyth County, Inc. and we thank every one of you
that have helped make this a reality!
We continue to need your
prayers, support and donations as we move forward. We also need your help to
spread the awareness that we need more churches to become involved! If
your church is not a Host or Support Church, ask your Pastor
"why". If they would like more information and/or someone to
come talk with them, please let me, Lu Leeds, know. We would love to come
and explain the need for Family Promise and why your church should get involved!
Thank you again and God
Bless,
Lu Leeds, Chairman, Board of
Trustees
