Every year, First Presbyterian Church supports Thornwell by collecting pennies in turkey banks. This year, we’d like to take it a step further by collecting items needed to support Thornwell’s mission to see hopeful, healthy, and empowered children and families fulfilling their God-given potential. Throughout the month of November, you can drop off donated items at First Presbyterian Church. To see a full list of items needed visit here. To find out more about Thornell and their vision, visit thornwell.org.
Founded in 1875 in Clinton, S.C., by a Presbyterian minister to care for orphans from the Civil War, Thornwell still cares for children who’ve experienced trauma while providing innovative ministries to strengthen families throughout Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina. Thornwell’s theme this Emphasis Month is “Foundations in Hope,” which highlights the embodiment of faith in Jesus. Through our prayer and submission, Jesus can use us to guide vulnerable children and families to know Him and experience His goodness.
Thornwell Emphasis Month represents a long-standing tradition of faithful friends who so generously advocate for Thornwell and bring awareness to the needs that exist within our communities. We hope you will consider joining us as we share how God is working through children and families being supported by programs at Thornwell!
