Serving God and Others during Holy Week
As Christians walk into Holy Week, we can reflect on many truths. One truth is that our world and the communities we live in desperately need to see and experience the transforming love of Jesus. Another is that Jesus came to earth to radically love and serve the world that was opposed to God and his rule. We see that in very tangible ways during his last week on earth that ultimately led to his giving up his life for the salvation of the world. Radical love in the face of unrepentant sinful people that opened the way to a world completely changed is what we celebrate this week. What small and simple things can you do to love others this week as a way to thank Jesus for the priceless gift of service and love he gave to us? Activate your faith today!

Stories of Service: Training Up Conference
On March 18th, many foster and adoptive parents, mentors, caregivers and social workers and social service agencies representatives came together to learn together at Defending the Cause Regional Alliance's first Training Up Conference. This conference was designed to teach individuals and families involved with caring for kids from hard places on topics such as attachments, sensory and emotional processing and more. Regional experts taught great tools and insights that provided encouragement and support to everyone in attendance. Defending the Cause Regional Alliance was formed in the past year to create a collaborative network of churches, nonprofits, agencies and professionals who can find and empower one another in their work of protecting kids and strengthening families.
