God has given fathers a unique and powerful role—to encourage, protect, guide, and reflect His love to their children. Whether your children are newborns, grown, or still on the way, your presence matters more than you know.

Thank you for making a lasting impact on the next generation.

"The righteous man walks in his integrity; blessed are his children after him." — Proverbs 20:7

From all of us at the Life Center, we pray God's richest blessings over every father today. Happy Father's Day!

Thank you to Stephen Teig and Jessica Rudegeair from Anderson's Furniture for sponsoring a community collection drive to benefit the Life Center!

Shelly Weller, one of our volunteers, organized the drive. We are grateful to everyone in our community who donated. Your generosity will bless many of the families we serve.

Thank you as well to Jodi Baker-Lewis, Shelly Weller, and Wendy and Jeff Weiss for delivering the donations.

We appreciate each of you for helping us empower women, support families, and affirm life. 💜

June has been full of connection and encouragement at the Life Center! 💜

Our moms gathered for Cooking Connections to prepare a delicious meal together while learning practical cooking skills. At Family Connections, parents enjoyed a meal, encouraging discussion, and time to connect while children had fun with our wonderful childcare volunteers.

We're especially thankful for Billie from With You Counseling Services, LLC, who joins us each month to share practical encouragement on mental health and self-care, equipping parents with tools to care for themselves and their families.

Thank you to everyone who helps to make these monthly gatherings possible. Together, we're building stronger families and a caring community. ❤️

💜 Do you love spending time with children? The Life Center is seeking caring volunteers to provide childcare during two monthly programs that encourage and support our families.

👶 Family Connections (Evening – Once a Month)
While moms and dads enjoy dinner and fellowship, you'll help care for their little ones in a safe, fun, and loving environment.

👶 Cooking Connections (Daytime – Once a Month)
As moms learn new cooking skills and enjoy fellowship together, volunteers provide childcare so they can fully participate.

Just a few hours of your time each month can make a tremendous difference for the families we serve. By caring for their children, you're helping parents grow, build community, and experience the love and support of others.

If you'd like to learn more about volunteering, give us a call at 814-432-2229. We'd love to welcome you to our volunteer team!

❤️ Serving children. Encouraging parents. Strengthening families.

A heartfelt thank you to Galloway Church of Franklin for their generous donations from their Bloom event to the Life Center! 💜

They recently blessed us with diapers, wipes, incentive gift cards, baby clothes, children's snacks, and bottled water—items that will help meet the practical needs of the families we serve every day.

We are so thankful for churches and community partners who faithfully demonstrate the love of Christ through acts of kindness and generosity. These gifts are more than supplies—they are a tangible reminder to local moms, dads, and children that they are seen, valued, and cared for.

Thank you, Galloway Church, for being the hands and feet of Jesus and for helping us share hope, encouragement, and support with families in our community. Your partnership is a blessing! 💕

❤️🤍💙 Today, we pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice reminds us of the value of every life and the freedoms we are blessed to enjoy each day.

As we gather with family and friends this Memorial Day, we also hold close in prayer the families who carry the weight of loss and remembrance every day.

From all of us at the Life Center, thank you to those who have served and sacrificed. “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” — John 15:13 🇺🇸
