Serving Others

Here are some photos of our progress on our Habitat House for the Pring family.

Weaving Families Adoption Ministry is a non-profit ministry that supports families by consulting, counseling, educating and comforting throughout the adoption journey. Families who pursue adoption often struggle alone without professional resources and support, and it is for this reason that founders R.J. and Rebecca Caswell created this ministry to help anyone in the adoption process.

Weaving Families strives to ensure that families are well equipped to parent each adopted child, therefore they provide the following assistance:

Consulting and Counseling:
• Is adoption right for your family?
• Adoption after infertility
• Possible adoption avenues (domestic, international, foster to adopt, etc.)
• Adoption loss
• Navigating the adoption wait
• Considerations of adopted and biological siblings

Educating:
• Introduction to adoption
• Possible Adoption avenues (domestic, international, foster to adopt, etc.)
• Older child adoption
• Trans-racial/cross-cultural adoption considerations
• Understanding attachment and bonding
• Facilitating positive attachment across the ages

Comforting:
• Adoption loss
• Navigating the adoption wait
• Connecting with mentor families
• Support groups (moms, dads, siblings, grandparents/extended family)

For the second year in a row, Church at Charlotte received the “2008 Church of the Year” award as the top church in blood donations to the Community Blood Center of the Carolinas.

But it’s more than that. Church at Charlotte outpaced all other non-profit organizations in donations. It’s a show of commitment to this community that demonstrates a love for others.

Thanks to everyone who has participated in our blood drives, and especially to Donna Cox, Eddie Booth and June Booth for coordinating these efforts. For more information about upcoming blood drives (to donate or to assist), contact Eddie at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).
