September's Communion Rail Compassion Gift is for Wellroot Family Services.

There are thousands of children and young adults in Georgia’s foster care system who don’t know what a stable home feels like. As an agency of The United Methodist Church in North Georgia, Wellroot programs are designed to change this reality through faith-centered service and trauma-informed care. 

Here's how to give: Give online and select "Communion Offering" from the drop-down Fund menu. Or mail a check to the church office and indicate "Altar Rail" on the memo line.
