For those of you who weren't able to attend, we ate some incredible food, heard some powerful stories of hope, lives changed and families restored and danced the night away. The Tree Of Hope that you filled out will be carefully assembled and passed on to the community at Stepping Stones and Stepping Up and in some ways, just acts as a reminder, a testimony to the wider network of people supporting, cheering and championing young families.
Soul Stream was incredible. For those of you who missed the event this year, trust me - you'll want to come next. Seeing so many of you out on the dance floor, ripping it up was the highlight for me of the evening.
The road forward for Stepping Stones and Stepping Up is, challenging, hopeful, stressful and exciting all at once. Not too disimilar to being a new parent I suppose. The needs continue to grow, and we rely continually on a faithful God and a strong community of support. Thank you for being there for us.
We'd love for this to just be the beginning of a conversation. It truly takes a community to rebuild families, restore hope and just walk through life together. Your ongoing prayers and support are deeply valued and we want to make sure we're doing our part to let you know what's going on in this community.
Please check out the facebook album - there are some great shots of the night and we'd love you to stay connected with us through the page or by signing on to our newsletter.
From all of us at Stepping Stones and Stepping Up: Thanks.
-Jeff
