November Happenings

November 6th is officially "Orphan Sunday" across the world. 


It's been designated as a day to bring to light the needs of orphans everywhere. 


At Frazer, we'll be using the month of November as an opportunity to increase awareness about the orphan crisis, both locally and internationally. 


*Please visit the ONEfamily table in the atrium each Sunday this month.  We'll have resources for you and opportunities available to plug in to orphan care. 


*In addition, we'll be spotlighting some families on the blog this month that are caring for the orphan; through adoption, foster care, or orphan care. 


*During the month of November, please look for the Project Angel Tree table in the Atrium.  This year, there will be an opportunity to provide Christmas gifts for over 400 children currently in DHR foster care.  By sponsoring a child, you are providing them with hope and joy for this Christmas season.    


*The Foster  Care Training Class is finishing up it's last few weeks of training this month.  By mid-November, there will be 13 more families certified to care for foster children in our county! 


*A BIG thank you to all of the Sunday School classes, families, and bible studies that provided dinner for us each week! Such a blessing to us! 


*If you are interested in taking the next Foster Care training class, please contact us at onefamily@frazerumc.org for more information. 


*Waiting on a Word blog is raffling off a brand new video camera and all proceeds are donated to caring for the orphan. Half will go toward helping the Word family bring an orphan into their home. The other half will go toward a Kaye and Toni, a Frazer mother and daughter who are going TO the orphan and caring for them in Ethiopia this summer.  Head over here for more information about the raffle. 


Check back soon to meet some of the Frazer families who are caring for the orphan!
