He Knows What We Need Before We Even Ask.

“ your Father knows what you need before you ask him .“

Matthew 6:8

Don’t we have a marvelous Heavenly Father. The inside of

this newsletter will report the outpouring of blessing the

center has received this year. The Ladies’ Tea, the baby

bottle campaign and the showers of gifts from our

supporting churches and organizations has stocked our

shelves and helped with the medical conversion. Also, God

has sent 5 new volunteer counselors our way; three transferring form other

centers which means they have com trained and ready for the counseling room.

Two other dedicated mature women are moving right along in their training.

The most exciting news is the addition of the new suite. We were able to rent

the office next door to our present facility, giving us much needed space to

expand. What does all this mean? I believe we are on the verge of something

big. God is doing a mighty work here in Harford County, and we get to be part

of it. Praise His Name! I invite you to come along and get involved . There is

nothing like being part of a cause and ministry bigger that you can imagine.

PARENTING CERTIFICATES GIVE MEANING

Stormy came to the Pregnancy Resource Center to earn

a parenting certificate in preparation for a custody

hearing. Alpha’s Glory Parenting Class certificates are

recognized by Harford County. Her ten lessons included

how to provide loving support for her children, setting

limits and ways to motivate her children. She worked

diligently to complete her classes which included

watching dvd sessions, discussing the lesson with the

counselor and completing homework assignments.

Stormy’s counselors describe her as bright and attentive,

willing to learn and optimistic about her future.
