MAY IS FOSTER CARE AWARENESS MONTH! I want to use this as an opportunity to say thank you to the church family for your support of this ministry. Whether kids are with me for a weekend or months, you have made a difference in their lives. The faithful prayers, meals, play dates, last minute childcare, and encouraging words have not gone unnoticed. It truly takes a village! ~Rebecca Steiger
