Latest news from Family Promise



And we're off!

On October 3rd, after two years of work & prayers, Family Promised welcomed its first family through its doors. Mom and boys are growing accustomed to their new environment and doing well. Do keep them in your prayers. 
Beautifully made beds, with handmade pillows for the boys. 

Cumming First United Methodist Church was the first church to host. They have really set the standard high for hospitality and relationship. Host coordinator Debbie Dickey had this to say, "You really grow attached to them. I feel like their grandma." Thank you Debbie for making them feel like family. 

We were expecting a shower, but SURPRISE, we got a TUB too!

Meanwhile, back at our day center (The Place), preparations have been set with a new shower/tub and laundry facility. We are so appreciative of Joni and her staff for the warm hospitality they have shared with us all at Family Promise. Check them out at www.theplaceofforsyth.org
Check out that brick work! It's still standing today. 

On our first Saturday at the center, the boys and Jacob (our director) enjoyed building a brick 'room' complete with a window. - even Jacob's son joined in on the fun. There was also an impromptu moment of patriotism as all three boys recited the Pledge of Allegiance.
