3. Foster Care Informational Meeting - TONIGHT!

Foster Care Ministry Informational Meeting
TONIGHT! Wednesday, June 15 at 6:30pm at HMUMC

HMUMC and The United Methodist Children's Home (UMCH) envision a world where every child is raised in a loving, compassionate and nurturing home. 150 foster children a month in Georgia are sleeping in hotel rooms supervised by strangers (a contracted state employee to be specific). The UMCH turns away an average of 30 foster kids a week, all because there are not enough foster homes. Our HMUMC Foster Care Ministry is trying to help.
