Morning of Gratitude was Refreshing

Over 30 churches honored during our annual breakfast

Our pastors are vital partners in the success of our centers, and each year we joyfully take time to honor them with a special Morning of Gratitude breakfast. This year, we were blessed to welcome pastors and leaders from more than 30 churches representing five counties. Thank you for the faithful service you provide to the communities you serve.


The morning included a word of encouragement for our Dadz Coordinator, Pastor Ben Sawyer, a powerful impact story shared by Rachel Northrup, and the gifting of a personalized devotional, Come to the Source, to our pastors and staff. We are deeply grateful for the churches and leaders who joined us and for the unity and encouragement felt throughout the morning.


As we celebrate and appreciate our pastors, we also want to extend a heartfelt thank you to the more than 140 churches that support our Baby Bottle Project from Mother’s Day to Father’s Day. If your church is not currently participating or would like more information, please contact one of our centers—we would love to connect with you.

Our Baby Bottle Campaign may look a little different for your church this year! Churches can participate in the way that works best for them - through a physical bottle, a hybrid option (bottles + online giving), or online only.
