Buckner is hosting an Adoption/Foster Care Parents training conference in Dallas and is needing volunteers to help take care of children while parents go to the training. We are hoping to bring at least 10 volunteers from The Ridge. Volunteers need to be 18 and older, although Buckner has said they would accept 16-17 yr olds who were very mature and responsible (with parental support).

This Saturday, December the 6th (2-4), we will host an informational meeting at our church (back in the Gathering Place) for foster care and adoption (from the foster care system).  Please make plans to join us. 

This meeting is listed on the state website.  Please pray that everyone who is interested can make the time, find our location and get the info that they need.  We’d love to have a great turnout and explore ways to support foster families in our community.  Here’s the link–
