Sanctuary has had a tradition of supporting Judson Center since 1924 when they began as an orphanage. Some will remember the “Applesauce Gang” that made applesauce for the children. Through the years they have grown into five regional offices in twenty-nine counties, offering services to families and children in foster care and adoption, autism, behavioral health, and those with physical disabilities. Our support can specifically contribute to a nurturing environment for a child abuse victim, job skill training for a young adult, or intensive therapy for a foster care child. This is an opportunity to honor our covenant values to participate in service and share the gifts God has given us.

On December 4 Elizabeth Cassise, Supervisor of Foster Care and Adoption, will talk about Judson’s programs for a Mission Moment immediately following worship in our parlor.
