Welcome

If you are new to our site, this blog is sort of a hodge podge of our ministry and family life, and whatever else God lays on my heart to share. The Home Page above will link you to our Sufficient Grace Ministries page. You can read more about the 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization and the outreaches of this ministry whose mission is to offer comfort and hope to grieving parents. The Blog button brings you to the page you are currently reading, featuring a variety of subjects...some ministry updates, some family news, and some biblically-based encouragement. The Walking With You page is a place for bereaved parents who have lost a baby or child to find encouragement and hope. It is an online support group created so that families would know they are not walking this path alone. On the Dreams of You Shop page, you can learn more about the products and services we offer, place an order, or sponsor a family. The Encouraging Women blog is a work in progress. There, we hope to offer biblically-based encouragement to all women. The Resource page has been newly updated with a list of resources that are helpful for grieving parents. Our blogroll is also located on this page. Thank you so much for visiting our site. Blessings to you...

SGM Events...Sponsor a Family...Support Sufficient Grace

Because of your generous support...

Since last summer, we have shipped about two hundred packages filled with Dreams of You Memory Books, Comfort Bears, and/or other items to offer comfort to grieving parents all over the United States, some to Canada, and one to Singapore!(Thank you, thank you, thank you...to those of you who helped to make that possible!!)

We have provided hospital seminars to encourage staff on the importance of compassionate care, the importance of making a lasting, tangible memory, and understanding grief from a bereaved parent's perspective.

We offer an online support group for grieving families: Walking With You.

Families are not charged for our products or services. We are asking if you would prayerfully consider supporting the following upcoming events so that we can continue to provide these products and services free of charge.

Saturday, June 19th ~ 2:00pm SGM Golf Outing

Get a team of golfers! $50 per person (4 person teams) includes 18 holes of golf, cart, and dinner.

Sponsor or donate to the event: $50 & $100 hole sponsor levels, or give toward sponsoring a family or other item. Last year, several bloggers and families donated in memory of their child or in honor of a loved one as a way to "pay it forward".

Contact us ASAP: sufficientgraceministries@gmail.com

Please pray for good weather and a good turn out!!

If you're in the Findlay area, we will also be having an ice cream social on August 14, 2010 (11am-2pm). This will include a picnic-style lunch of hot dogs, chips, punch, and ice cream w/toppings. Free Will Donation supports Sufficient Grace.

Ice Cream Social will also be at:
Findlay First Church of the Nazarene
2501 Broad Avenue
Findlay, Oh 45840

Our band, One Way, will be performing at the Corn City Festival in August in Deshler, Ohio. Time and date to be announced.
---------------------------

You can also donate anytime and sponsor a family. Details here.

Thank you so much for your prayers and support. Please keep all of these events in prayer. And, if you feel led to blog and share about supporting Sufficient Grace to help spread the word, that would be wonderful. A donation in any amount is helpful. I promise that we will be talking less about support soon, as Operation Sufficient Grace comes to a close in August. It really is my least favorite part of ministry...asking others to give. God has been faithful to provide for the growing needs of this ministry. And, we are so grateful for His faithfulness and for the generosity of His people.

*Please note that Sufficient Grace Ministries for Women and Families is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization. All donations are tax deductible.
