See, the Lord's hand is not too short to save, nor his
ear too dull to
hear. Rather, your iniquities have been barriers between you
and your
God. Isaiah 59:1-2
Do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the
kingdom of God? Do
not be deceived! 1 Corinthians 6:9
Father God, thank you for being attentive to the cry of
your people!
Guide us to the path which will help us to refrain from
wrongdoings so
we may glory with our brothers and sisters in your kingdom's
light.
Amen.

Feb 1, 2012 -- Pres Ken is on vacation so
Pres-elect Barb Kowitz filled in today as we met at the
Children's Home of Easton (CHE). Thanks to member Maria Saba for
providing the wonderful lunch and newly renovated facility to
hold our meeting. Walt reported that the Cheston KKids are going
to plan to meet the 2nd & 4th Thur of each month, while the
Paxinosa KKids are planning on meeting the 2nd Thur of the month
and the EAMS Builders Club will be meeting on the 2nd Tues of
each month: what that means is we need help on the Youth
Services Committee. All of our youth clubs are selling the
EliMiNaTe wrist bands to raise funds for the project. CHE
Executive Director Gregg Dowty opened the program with a
heart-warming story of a young boy who is now getting the proper
education as a result of the CHE. He welcomed us to the newly
renovated main-entry and space for family and youth. In fact, we
are the first group to u se
the facility. Gregg then turned the program over to Steve Evans,
Dir. of Development. Steve explained the use the newly
renovated, at a cost of some $500,000, area: used for families
and their children to meet in comfortable and private areas with
staff and a common central area as the main entrance and a youth
gathering area for social events for the children of CHE. We
learned that today's CHE is not the "old CHE." With the
government financing being constantly reduced and a
determination to "place" youth with someone in their family,
children may only spend 9 months or less at CHE. During this
transition the staff will attempt to reattach the child with a
direct or close family unit even if it is in a different state.
Some of the children passing through CHE just need time to find
a relative, distant as it may be, but still a relative to accept
them and allow them to be relocated. In the "old CHE" it became
the child's new permanent home until they graduated from high
school. They even utilize the Internet's many ancestry
registries to locate relative. There is much to do with a new
child in the program: from coordinating their attendance at
school to medical support to finding their families. On campus
they house about 60 children while in the community their are
about 30 children. There is even a short-term residence area to
provide a day or two as an emergency shelter while awaiting
decisions from the court for placement or reuniting a run-away
with family. Yes, this is the new CHE! Learn more at
