A Story of Love

Holding human life in high regard should be at the center of all we do as followers of Jesus Christ. God created us in His image (Genesis 1:27) and no other creation of God can say that. Because we are made in His image, God has given us guidance and direction regarding how we treat one another. This Sunday (10:30 am) we will recognize the sanctity of life. Join us, as Mike and Heather Vedders (Heather is the daughter of Glenn and Reneé Larsen) share their story of love, as God has given them a new daughter through adoption.

A Note From Heather: "This last August, Michael and I brought home our beautiful little 9 month old girl from Ethiopia. After many months of waiting, Elsie Chako was finally in our arms. We decided to adopt out of dealing with infertility but quickly realized the amazing journey adoption is in forming a family. God has opened our eyes and taught us so much through it.

As we celebrate Sanctity of Life Sunday, we cannot be more thankful for those birthmothers that choose adoption for their babies. Because Elsie's birthmom knew she couldn't provide what Elsie needed, she brought her to an orphanage and left her there praying God would provide. Her sacrifice is now our joy and we pray for healing and peace in her life. God has such a creative way of forming families and we are so thankful for His hand in it."
