Chosen: Night Of Fellowship
September 14th – 6PM

Did you know that 38% of Christians have seriously considered adopting, but only 5% have actually done so? Or that after reaching the age of 18, 20% of children who were in foster care become instantly homeless? In fact, 1 in 4 of America’s foster youth are homeless within four years of leaving foster care. Overall, 50% of homeless people on the street have been in foster care at some point in their life.

God has called us, the church, to be the answer:

“Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.” – James 1:27

Chosen Ministry is hosting a dinner for individuals and couples interested in learning more about fostering and adoption. Join us on September 14 at 6 p.m. at the home of the McLemores to connect with our foster and adoption ministry, learn more, and ask questions.

Please RSVP by Sunday, September 8, to reserve your seat by emailing chosen@thewellchurch.com. We look forward to connecting with you and your family over dinner.

We aRE CALLED

Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world. – James 1:27

38% of practicing Christians have seriously considered adoption. However, only 5% of practicing Christians have actually adopted.
