Florida UM Children’s Home Celebrates 100 Years

This year (2008) the Florida United Methodist Children’s Home is celebrating 100 years of serving children!  The Children’s Home is a wonderful ministry located in Enterprise, Florida.  It offers a safe environment for young people age 5 through 18 who have suffered abuse, abandonment, or because of family breakdown due to divorce, drug abuse, illness or death of a parent.  Children live in one of eleven cottages.  Each resident receives counseling and spiritual guidance, along with numerous therapeutic opportunities including Chapel, music, dance, recreation, life skills, hobbies, crafts, and horticulture.  There are currently seventy-seven youth and children living at the home and sixty-five young people are being served through the Foster Care Program.  For more information about the Children’s Home please visit www.fumch.org.

March is a five Sunday month, which means we collect special offerings for the Home.  Please mark your check or envelope “Children’s Home.”  Thank you for supporting this important ministry!
