Foster & Adoptive Parents Needed
|
An appeal to MCCLV:
Clark County Foster Care is about believing and investing in the future of a child. We value family diversity and are wholeheartedly devoted to building knowledge about the need for compassionate foster parents to provide safe and loving homes for our children.
To continue our success, we are currently seeking qualified, passionate and dedicated people from the LGBT community to become foster and adoptive parent resources. Our greatest need is to identify parents who can care for LGBTQ youth, sibling groups of 3 and more, teenagers and children with special health care challenges.
For more information, please take a brochure located at the back of the church or click HERE. If you are interested in attending a Foster Care Information Session, then please contact Richard DePue-Mills at 455-7286 or via email by clicking HERE. If there is enough interest from the congregation, then we'll agree to hold a Foster Care Information Session at MCCLV!
Together we can serve the needs of our children and contribute to the well being of our community as a whole.

R U interested in
Creating a Life that Matters?
|
Spiritual Development:
Creating a Life that Matters is all about relationships: intentional, authentic relationships - with the
Sacred, our Self, and our Passion. CLM transforms lives and inspires people to more directed, clear, passionate involvement in their
life and in the life of the planet, through the support of their local
MCC.
The Sacred: While many
would agree that relationship with the Sacred is the fundamental
beginning of all faith paths, this transforming experience is often lost
when we exchange our spiritual vitality for empty religious
practices. In the six sessions of Rediscovering Relationship
with the Sacred, we explore what it means to be transformed by an
encounter with the Sacred, and rediscover loving God with heart, soul
and mind.
My Self: As modern people, we expend time,
effort and money seeking to understand who we are. In
Rediscovering Relationship with My Self , we explore some of
the influences that have shaped us, and investigate ways to create a
self we will want to live with, others will want to relate to, and God
will be able to use in the service of all that is Sacred.
My Passion: Our passions
make us most aware of our personal power, energy and joy Many
internal and external factors influence how successfully we manifest
these passions in our lives. In the six sessions of
Rediscovering Relationship with My Passion , we explore ways to
manage those factors, and discover what gives us power, energy and joy
as we serve the Sacred through church.
Tuition is $25 for each of the three (Self, Self, Passion) 6-week courses and covers the cost of your workbook and all necessary materials. A limited number of partial scholarships are available for those in need of financial assistance.
We are currently in the process of determining if there is sufficient interest (there is a minimum number of students needed to make the class effective) to offer this program again here at MCCLV. If YOU are interested in Creating a Life that Matters, then click HERE to contact the instructor, Marie Tasker.
