Adoption: For Life Conference Recap

"In love He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, which He freely bestowed on us in the Beloved."

Ephesians 1:4-6

On Saturday, November 7th, 2009 Grace Community Church is hosting the Adoption: For Life Conference.

The purpose of the Adoption: For Life Conference is to provide families and church leaders with a biblical understanding of our role as believer’s to care for the fatherless. This conference will explain the basics of adoption to couples that are interested. It will be a way to bring together different agencies that share Grace Church’s goal of placing children in need with Christian families.
