Our mission offering for the month of February will go to the New Day Foundation for Families, a non-profit providing financial and emotional resources for families fighting cancer, partnering with Michigan hospitals and cancer centers. The founders, who experienced the death of their first spouses, have told their story in a memoir which became a Hallmark movie. It will be highlighted by Jennifer Landers, who will speak at the Mission Moment in the parlor on February 2nd directly following worship. New Day Foundation for Families offers a financial bridge for Michigan families fighting cancer, providing financial and emotional resources and partnering with Michigan hospitals and cancer centers. It began in 2007 after Michael and Gina Spehn both experienced the death of their first spouses to cancer. Because they know about crippling debt, disruption for medical treatment, and inadequate quality of life, their foundation offers services that include paying everyday expenses, partnering with licensed therapists and delivering groceries. They have told their story in a memoir, The Color of Rain, which became a Hallmark movie in 2014, and they have bean featured on the Today Show. Your generosity provides Michigan families hope because every dollar means that financial and emotional stress can be relieved for more cancer families.
