Foster care & Adoption Ministry

You’re Invited! Get To Know SIB Panel — September 21st

After church on Sunday, September 21st, we invite you to come upstairs for a powerful time of testimony and encouragement hosted by Sisters in Battle (SIB) – a sister ministry of FAM.

Grab a plate from the Smiles & Stories event happening downstairs, then bring it with you upstairs to hear directly from SIB participants as they share how God has been moving in and through this ministry.

🕊️ Expect a time of:

• Honest stories of hope, healing, and transformation
  
• Celebration of what God is doing in the lives of women at Hope
• Learning how SIB and FAM want to serve side by side to encourage families in the rebuilding phase of life 

Location: Upstairs (grab a plate downstairs!)
Time: Right after service

Come be part of what God is doing—this is more than an event; it’s a movement of spiritual battle in the name of Jesus.

We’d love to see you there! (although SIB primarily serves women – we’d love for men and women of all ages to come hear testimonies)

Our annual lemonade stand is back! We’ll be set up during the first Summer Fun Night

June 11 – Stand opens at 5pm

Proceeds benefit our local non profit friend, Foster Village.

Foster Village provides practical resources and support to foster and reunified families in Austin.

We hope to see you there!

If you are interested in manning the stand with FAM please reach out to Mandy! 

It’s a really fun activity for a family to do together or for adults without kiddos to sit back and hang out. Anyone is welcome! Additionally, if you’d like to provide resources for us – donating lemonade/snacks/etc – we’d love that kind of help too!

Come spend time with us and hang out with the FAM!

Join Mandy on Feb 28th from 6pm – 7:30pm at Hope (during Family Night) for dinner and great conversation! We will plan to explore the topic of becoming a Safe Families Host Home – these singles, roommates or families open their homes to host a child/children for short, predetermined lengths of time (on average 4-6 weeks). 

This short hosting allows caregivers time and space to secure resources for themselves to prevent their children entering fostercare. The goal of host homes is to strengthen vulnerable families in our community and offer the hope of Christ through hospitality and friendship. 

Come learn more and meet our guests the Oberski family, who have been a Safe Families host home since 2016! 

Dinner and childcare provided. Please RSVP to Mandy
