Sarah (Say) Spencer introduced her Building Families Program to the group at their noon meeting on Nov. 10.  She described the program as “an intensive in-home program that builds on the existing strengths of families in order to reduce the stressors interfering with healthy family functioning.”  She began by citing three family scenarios and ended by describing the approaches she used in resolving problems in the various families.  The service is free to families seeking help in resolving stressful situations.  By teaching parenting skills and ways to change a child’s behavior, she provides hope and wholeness to distressed families.    She introduced Sherri Bozardt, the Georgia Mission Advancement Officer for Thornwell Home for Children, located in Clinton, S. C.  Thornwell is the sponsoring organization for the Building Families Program.  Ms. Bozardt described the cottages and services Thornwell provides for orphan children.  Information is available at sarah.spencer@thornwell.org or sherri.bozardt@thornwell.org.
