Strengthening Families
Are you interested in helping local families who may be working with Child Protective Services stay unified? With your Christmas Eve offering generosity, RezDT will sponsor a Downtown area Strengthening Families Program (SFP) this fall. SFP is an evidence-based family skills training program found to significantly improve parenting skills and family relationships. We need volunteers like you to be the hands and feet of Christ as facilitators (training available July 13-14), to provide meals, childcare, and transportation, and to provide hospitality and organizational leadership. These are all ways you can help for one evening or multiple evenings over a 14-week period this fall. Contact PastorPatrick@cor.org for more information, or sign up here!

RezDowntown wishes you a safe and Happy 4th of July!
