Christmas time is here! 🎄💙 Check out how you can help foster families this holiday season with Clement Arts ⬇️

Will you help us provide experiences for foster families this Christmas?
Children from traumatic backgrounds need to feel safe, valued and cared for. This is accomplished by building relationships, trust and connection. Allowing families space and time for a shared experience provides an organic opportunity for connection and relationship building. With these goals in mind, we are assisting local churches in offering experiences to foster families this year.
Callaway Gardens has generously provided a discount for Clement Arts to provide families with an Annual Family Premium Pass. Local churches will distribute passes to the families they serve.
Any additional Christmas gifts will be used throughout the year to support local foster and adoptive families right here in your community!

Did you know that September is Kinship Care Month! Kinship Care is when a child in foster care is placed with a biological family member that has been vetted by the Department. Thank you to all of the family members that care for their nieces, nephews, grandchildren, cousins, and other family members.

Join us through the month of September as we pray for families with children in foster care. ❤

Chef Kibby is a biological, foster, adoptive dad who vulnerably shares his story of personal and professional struggle

You will have two unique opportunities to hear Chef Kibby...

1. Clement Arts Celebration Banquet 2023
Tuesday, September 26th | 6:30-8:30 pm
CrossPointe Church | Columbus GA

2. A Recipe for Connection Workshop
This is a hands-on workshop for a caregiver/child pair. Do you want to connect with a child in the kitchen but are unsure where to start? Chef Kibby is here to help demystify the kitchen by showing you how to read recipes with an eye for connection. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, or anywhere in between, you'll have a better idea on how to plug a child into the process to feed their connection needs.

You'll practice a variety of techniques all designed to help you experience the benefits of cooking and eating together.

Chef Kibby’s primary message revolves around the inherent power of cooking and eating together with our children to create trust, felt safety, and connection. It’s a message of hope for all parents, but especially caregivers to children from hard places.

Buy tickets and learn more about both opportunities at Clement-Arts.org

We are excited to share several initiatives within our Empowered to Foster ministry that present tangible ways for us to make a positive impact! 🙂

There are SO many ways to come alongside foster families in need!

Currently, our "Care communities" are active, extending heartfelt support to foster families within our congregation by providing essential aid such as meals, child care, and other forms of assistance. But, we still are in need of volunteers who have a heart for foster families in these areas.

As we move forward, we're thrilled to introduce a new opportunity starting this September, known as the "CarePortal." This innovative system enables local case workers to communicate specific, tangible needs from families in our community that we, as devoted church members, can fulfill.

In the coming year, we're anticipating the launch of "Families Count," a six-week biblical parenting course designed to aid the reunification of biological families within the foster care system. This program presents various roles for our church members to play, including assisting with transportation, preparing meals, providing childcare during the lessons, and offering mentorship to parents.

Your willingness to contribute your time, skills, and compassion will be instrumental in bringing these initiatives to life. If you're intrigued to learn more about "Care Communities," "Care Portal," or "Families Count," we invite you to visit the Empowered to Foster booth in the lobby throughout the month of August.

Together, as a united church family, we can make a lasting difference in the lives of foster children, families, and our entire community.

Have questions? Contact Mary Kate McLean at [email protected] or visit the Empowered to Foster booth in the lobby through the end of August!

Want to help children in foster care but maybe don’t have a lot of extra time? Volunteer with juvenile court as a panel member! Panel members read case files and talk to the parties in a round table discussion before making recommendations to the judge on where the case should go like maybe the child needs to go to counseling or the child needs more visits with their family! Panel volunteers can make a powerful impact in the lives of children and families involved in the foster care system. Interested in learning more? Email Paige Fraser at [email protected] 💙
