Hello, Gold Coast Orphan Alliance! Now that the new year is in full swing, we are excited about connecting with all of you and working together in our community for the plight of the orphan. Given the recent tragedy in Haiti, the need for orphan care and support is even more critical and timely.
We hope you will join us for our first "We Heart Orphans" event of 2010, a family day at Padaro Beach Grill in Carpinteria, on February 13th from 11-1. This will be a casual "Meet and Greet" event to allow pre- and post-adoptive families and individuals in our community that are passionate about orphan care to get to know each other. Padaro Beach Grill has great food and a huge sandbox and grassy area that is perfect for kids (adults also manage to get a conversation or two in here sometimes!). We will provide a fun love-themed craft about caring for orphans for the kiddos and a special dessert. The purpose of this event is to help build a community that extends across churches in our area purposed to take action for the cause of the orphan.
We will also have information available that day about some smaller groups that are forming to support pre- and post- adoptive families in our area.
We hope you can join us! Please invite any of your friends who care about orphans to join us at Padaro Beach Grill for our get-together. Also, feel free to bring any relevant information about orphan-related projects that your church is working on that you may want to share with others.
In a month where we celebrate love, what could be more fitting to focus on loving those who need it most. Hope to see you there!
The Gold Coast Orphan Alliance brings together Christians from churches throughout the Gold Coast region of Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties to stand united for the cause of the orphan through collective advocacy and action. Our goal is to mobilize the passion and resources that God has spread across churches in our region to make a difference in orphans' lives.
