Our Mission Focus for April is CarePortal.
CarePortal is a ministry that brings together local churches and the Department of Child Services to help strengthen families in our community and build relationships between them and the Church.
In an effort to address the foster care crisis in our state, CarePortal seeks to keep kids with their biological families where such a situation is safe. They do this by working with DCS to learn of specific needs among families in Vanderburgh County, and making church partners aware of those needs. Whether it’s beds, clothes, food, or help with a utility bill or rent, churches then join together to respond to those needs that would otherwise have the potential to lead to the removal of children from their home; supporting the family and taking pressure off the foster care system.
Financial donations collected this month will help us respond to these needs right here in Vanderburgh County as we share our love for God by blessing these families.
You can give in person at the Main Campus, or ONLINE. However you give, thanks for being a congregation that cares about missions, and cares about families.
Blue Grass members Rachel Riggs and Amy Wilsbacher head up the Blue Grass CarePortal team, and they are currently looking for others who may be interested in serving with this ministry. They are looking for people who enjoy constructing furniture, delivering items, meeting and praying with families, being prayer warriors, purchasing needed items, or putting together care packets. If interested in volunteering, email Rachel or Amy to get more information.
