Update on Starting Strong

Update

Several members of the Mission Committee met with the director of Starting Strong and their board president.  We discussed the application Starting Strong is writing to become our “pilot program” at FPC.  Our goal is to have transformational impact in the community, draw closer to each other and be transformed ourselves.  Starting Strong is a very small organization and they are building their infrastructure to handle growth well.  This is taking time, and we appreciate their thoroughness and careful deliberation on how to do their ministry well.  They are still working on the application and hope to submit it to us in June.  We hope to be partnering with them both financially and with our members volunteering very soon. We continue to look for other opportunities in the community to support.

We will keep you up to date.  If you have any questions, please contact Ellen.
