The foster care ministry team is seeking to take God’s love into broken places by providing love and support to children in the foster care system by educating the church, connecting the church with opportunities, and by providing support for foster and biological families within our church and our community.
PUSH: We are PUSHing out information about the foster care community to educate our people.
PREPARE: We are PREPARING the people of New Salem and our community by hosting training opportunities.

Notes of Encouragement to
Cobb DFCS Case Managers
New Salem has the opportunity to partner with The Forgotten Initiative to encourage the workers on the frontlines! Burnout is real because caseloads are so high. Provide a word of hope to these workers. Notecards will be available in the foyer on May 5, 12, and 19. Please stop by and write your favorite scripture. Tell them what they are doing matters. Offer them encouragement with words of life.
