Parenting on Purpose
Support Sessions
Cleft of the Rock Foundation, Inc. has officially started our Parenting on Purpose Support Sessions. If you have completed the Parenting on Purpose video series we invite you to participate. We are committed to supporting each family we encounter. We recognize that in these times, as parents, it’s incredibly difficult to plan ahead or fit self-improvement into our already jam-packed schedules. From commutes to our destinations, extra-curricular activities, work and/or overtime, or a million other time-consumers, it can seem impossible to keep your head above water, much less commit to getting somewhere. Even if you will leave that somewhere fulfilled, refreshed, and better equipped to parent deliberately. The good news is, we can schedule time for a Parenting On Purpose Support Session (POPS), led by Brenda Williams, a wise and amazing mother and grandmother who is committed to growing families. Reply to this email to schedule your session today.

We are always in need of new volunteers and would greatly appreciate your time, in any way that you can contribute. If you have teenagers and they need hours for school, any time they volunteer with us can count towards their goal. You can volunteer by lending a hand at an upcoming event, like our yardsale, collecting donations on our behalf, or helping us pack/prepare donations.

Cleft of the Rock Foundation would like to thank Seacor Island Lines for partnering with us to ship the items above to Holy Saviour's Parish Anglican/Episcopal Church on Cat Island. They shipped the items free of charge! |

The Parish Church of Holy Saviour, Cat Island, launched the Mary Ann Seymour Closet of Love Ministry at St Peter’s Anglican Church, Knowles.
The Rt. Rev’d Laish Boyd commissioned this clothing ministry during the Patronal Service of Saints Peter and Paul yesterday. Needy residents of Cat Island will benefit from the cause.
Members of the Seymour family are grateful for the many gifts and contributions of clothing. Also, walkers and a wheelchair. Praise God from whom all blessings flow. May He continue to bless the givers and supporters.
Thank you.
