Orphan Sunday and More

Exciting things are happening in Spokane and the Inland Northwest as we seek to minister to orphans.  

First
I want to remind you that Orphan Sunday is fast approaching.  Sunday, November 4th is National Orphan Sunday this year.  OFF The WALL Ministry is having a meeting at 5:30 pm at Christ The Redeemer Church (1523 West Mallon Ave) this coming Sunday.  We hope you can make it.  Perhaps you would like to bring a friend.  We seek to, not only raise awareness about the needs of orphans in our area and around the world, but we also seek to support and encourage families who are taking care of orphaned and vulnerable children, whether through adoption or foster care.  There are also many resources available at our website over on the right side of the page.

Spread the word....
Do you have questions about the adoption process?  Are you interested in adoption but you have questions about some of the details?  Nicole Koyama and Mirisa Bradbury will share from their professional training the various legal aspects of adoption whether it be through the state, an agency or done privately.  They will also discuss legal complications that may occur and how to avoid these pitfalls.  Nicole and Marisa will share from their vast professional but also personal experience in the field of adoption.  Don’t miss this excellent opportunity to celebrate adoption and by all means, “bring a friend!”
Dessert and coffee will follow, along with fellowship with other parents who are on the journey of adoption/foster care.
Second
Faith Bible Church is hosting an event this Saturday where you can get free clothes!
WEAR IT AGAIN CLOSET

What:  Free gently used clothing for the entire family

Where:  Faith Bible Church, 600 W. Cora, Spokane, 99205

When:  Saturday, November 3 (this coming Saturday)

Time:  9-1

Third
Don't forget about the Orphan Sunday event going on in Couer D'Alene this Sunday as well.  Although this event is going on at the very same time as the one at Christ The Redeemer, look who we're sending over to Idaho to give the main talk. :-) Both events should be fantastic and the main point is to "care for orphans"!

Last
Monday November 5th at 9:00 am we begin planning for Spokane Orphan  Summit II.  Our second SOS conference will be March 16th at Eastpoint Church.  If you think you would like to invest a little bit of your time/talent once a month for the next 5 months we would love to have your help.  So, next Monday meet at Christ The Redeemer Church at 9:00 am and we will put our heads/hearts together.




Blessings,

Jason Wiens
