Over the weekend, the Miriam Home girls had fun painting pumpkins! 🎃🍂 And of course, enjoyed a caramel apple while they worked on their masterpieces.

But the funniest part? They asked to listen to Christmas music while painting their pumpkins! 😂

So, while it may be "happy fall y’all"... it’s also "beginning to look a lot like Christmas"! 🎶🎃🎄

This past Sunday, we had the privilege of sharing about Open Arms at First Baptist Church of Bloomfield and Switz City Christian Church. ❤️

We are so grateful for the opportunity to spend time with these congregations, share what God is doing through Open Arms, and thank them for the ways they faithfully support our ministry.

We love getting to connect with churches, Sunday School classes, missions teams, and small groups who want to learn more about how they can be involved in caring for Indiana children.

Would your church, Sunday School class, or missions team like to hear more about Open Arms? We would love to come share with you!

📧 Contact Paul Rick at [email protected] to schedule a time.

Yesterday, we were blessed to have an amazing youth group from First Baptist of Shelburn come out to the Miriam Home and spend their Saturday serving with us! 🥰

Over the summer, we experienced some flooding caused by tree roots that had grown into our water lines. Some trees had to be removed to help prevent it from happening again, and yesterday this incredible group helped us trim back the tree line and clean up the outdoor areas.

We are so grateful they chose to spend part of their Saturday serving Open Arms and helping care for the Miriam Home. These acts of service may seem like a simple Saturday project, but they make a real difference in the ministry we are able to do here.

Does your youth group, small group, or Sunday School class want to find a way to serve? We would love to talk with you about ways your group can get involved!

📧 Contact Alyse Rick at [email protected] to learn more about volunteer opportunities at Open Arms.

Thank you, First Baptist of Shelburn, for showing up and serving! We are grateful for you! 💕

One of the things we love most about Open Arms is the incredible community that comes alongside us. So many people pray for us, give, volunteer, encourage our staff, and believe in the work God is doing here. We want you to have the opportunity to see that work firsthand.

But we also know there are many people in our community who have never heard of Open Arms or may not really know what we do.

That’s why we’re opening the doors.

Join us this Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to noon at the Miriam Home and come find out:

💜 Who we are
💜 What we do
💜 How we care for and support girls
💜 What God is doing through this ministry
💜 And how YOU can be a part of it

Whether you’ve supported Open Arms for years or you’re hearing about us for the very first time, you are welcome here.

Come grab a light refreshment, meet our team, tour the Miriam Home, and get a glimpse of the ministry you help make possible.

Today, two of our staff members, Beccah Dieball and Alyse Rick, had the opportunity to sit down with WTWO Good Day Live host Julie Henricks to share more about the ministry of Open Arms!

Whether you’re interested in volunteering, looking for employment, wanting to become a donor, or simply learning more about what we do, there’s a place for everyone to be part of the Open Arms family. ❤️

We’re so grateful for the opportunity to share our mission and let our community know how they can get involved!
