EVENTS

Mark your calendars for these exciting events! (Dates/topics are subject to change. Be sure to check back regularly.)

Learn more at our monthly info meeting - Jan. 31, 2012
Learn more about Giving Orphans Hope and what you can do to help orphans. There are over 147 million children classified as orphans around the world. Could God be calling you to care for the least of these? Join us this month to learn about GO Hope, a local orphan care ministry advocating foster care and adoption, and how you might be able to put your calling into action. No matter where you are on the journey, this is a great opportunity to connect with others and lock arms in prayer for orphans locally and globally.

Join us on January 31 @ 7 pm Kensington's Troy Campus - West Entrance
For more information or to RSVP in advance contact Mary Hiatt at hiatt@givingorphanshope.org.

Special Needs Adoption Panel - Feb. 21, 2012
Is the adoption of a special needs child tugging on your heart? Are you aware that many special needs are minor and easily corrected with the proper medical care? Come meet with adoptive parents of special needs children. Hear about their experiences. Talk with professionals to find out how great the need is.

Join us on February 21 @ 7 pm at Kensington - Troy Room 115
for an informal question and answer panel discussion.
RSVP or email with questions pfeiffer@givingorphanshope.org.

Monthly Ladies Night - 3rd Thursdays
GO Hope is now going to be enjoying monthly Ladies Night Out evenings. Ladies Night Out evenings are for women that have adopted, fostered, or for those interested in connecting with those who have. Join us on the 3rd Thursday of each month at the Starbucks located in Troy at John R and Big Beaver at 7:30 pm. Let us know if you will be joining us, so we can look for you.
