Last year, Lexington area Christians came together to help fund the
adoption of two sweet little orphans from Eastern Europe, into the Rowe family. I'm happy
to say that both those children are home, doing great, and no
longer orphans! But there are always more children that need your help, and your opportunity is coming up soon. It's almost time for another Sacred Selections Fundraiser!

If you aren't familiar with Sacred Selections, read on. Sacred Selections is an amazing non-profit charity
created by David and Dana Carrozza, who are members of the church of
Christ. The organization raises money from individual Christians, and
gives it to other Christian couples who need financial assistance with
the dream of adoption. Explaining how Sacred Selections was founded,
Dana says,
"After years of hearing young families lament that they could not afford an adoption and at the same time people wanting to know how they could help the adoptive families…. It occurred to us….
Why not start a foundation?
A foundation that would be totally separate from the Church.
A foundation that would be a certified non-profit tax free foundation.
A foundation whose oversight (Board) would be by members of the Lord’s Church.
A foundation that would Finance the adoptions for members of the Church.
A foundation that people could give their monies to confident that it would go to place children in the homes of members of The Church of Christ.
SACRED SELECTIONS was born."
So, get ready Lexington! Your opportunity to help with this great work will be here soon!

that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit
orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained
from the world. James 1:27
