Would you join me in praying for our Care Connection team today?

Each chair represents a willing heart that shows up to answer the calls, listen with compassion, pray, and help our neighbors take next steps for wholeness.

Leave some scripture you’re praying over our team. 🙏

🌻 Why to Donate Wednesday! 🌻

Fall Reveal is almost here, and we’re getting ready to completely transform Hidden Gems! 🍂✨ But we can’t do it without YOU!

As you’re switching out your home décor for fall, consider donating the items you no longer need. Your gently loved fall décor, home décor, clothing, shoes, housewares, and more could become someone else’s next great find!

Every donation helps stock the shelves, supports CareNetworkCR, and gives shoppers the chance to find their own hidden gems. 💛

Would you join us in praying for these families?

“For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.” — Romans 8:18

Our community is experiencing real hardship.

Families need practical support.
Individuals need relationships.
People need hope.
And ultimately, we all need the redemption and restoration found in Jesus Christ.

At CareNetworkCR, we believe biblical care keeps both today and eternity in view.

Inspired by the Chalmers Center’s teaching, we believe effective help is more than simply meeting a material need. It is relational, dignifying, collaborative, and rooted in the truth that every person is made in the image of God.

That means we want to see the Church:

🤝 Work together in unity as the body of Christ
❤️ Build genuine relationships with people in our community
🙏 Walk alongside those experiencing hardship
📖 Offer biblical care and discipleship
💬 Create opportunities for clear conversations about the gospel
🌱 Recognize strengths, dignity, and God-given gifts
✨ Keep eternity in mind

A need is never just a number.

A person is never just a problem to solve.

Every person matters to God.

This is why we serve.

This is why we collaborate.

This is why we believe the Church is stronger together.

CareNetworkCR — Helping churches help people effectively.

We had a bursting office yesterday with laughter and busy hands.

The printer was non-stop and kept us moving.

We had a team of superstar admin volunteers helping set up lessons for our ESL School.

Would you pray for our ESL team and incoming students? If you will join us in prayer, leave a 🙏 !!!
