Living Lent Saturday ☀️

This Saturday in Living Lent is an invitation!

Volunteer days are some of the best days to be on campus.

It's easy to let the word 'foster' or 'disability' shape assumptions and become hesitant in interacting. But when we join the story and see each child is full of life and a desire for connection; we are reminded that -- regardless of background-- every child deserves to be seen, known, and celebrated for who they are.

Our volunteer groups help bridge that gap, no matter wat task or activity they are doing.

Volunteers help remind our boys that they are valued and loved, and our boys remind volunteers that connection, laughter, and compassion have no labels.

1 John 4:18

Join us today by asking God for ways YOU can be a part of Morningstar's ministry. Pray for the global church to love those in need with their time, talents, gifts, and their witness.
And consider giving to Living Lent 🙏

Day of Service - April 11th

Today, we're wearing blue 💙
Not just for a color—but for the children who deserve to feel safe, seen, and supported every single day.

April is Child Abuse Prevention Month, and every act of awareness helps create a stronger, safer future for kids in our care and beyond.

Living Lent Saturday ☀️

This Saturday in Living Lent is about Faith in Action.

At Morningstar, our CEO, Beth VanDerbeck, prays for the same three points on her way to campus each morning.
- Peace
- Protection
- Provision

The content behind those prayers may shift from day to day, but the heart behind them remains the same.

It's a beautiful reminder that this work doesn't begin or end with us-- it begins in prayer.

Faith and prayer are at the core of who we are at Morningstar. It grounds us in moments of uncertainty and gives us courage to keep going when the work feels heavy and challenging.

Most of all, faith is in the children, loved and cared for by God, often through all of us and those who accept His invitation to be involved in what He is doing here.

Matthew 5:16

Join us today by praying for peace, protection, and provision.
And consider giving to and signing up for the Living Lent devos. 🙏

Living Lent Saturday ☀️

This Saturday in Living Lent is a highlight on our Counseling program.

At Morningstar, our Mental Health Counselors walk alongside each child as they begin to heal from the deep wounds of trauma-- often rooted in abuse, neglect, or abandonment.

Our Director of Counseling, Katrina Chisholm, shared a story of one young girl who arrived withdrawn and guarded. Rarely speaking and holding her emotions tightly locked away.

Katrina recalls not knowing what exact moment things changed, only that persistence and patience began to open a door. Meeting the young girl on her level, creating small spaces of comfort and safety until trust began to grow.

By the end of her time in our Counseling program, the young girl spoke freely about her dreams, passions, and hopes. Expressing love and confidence in her relationship with Katrina.

Hope doesn't always spring upon us in an instance, but in consistently showing up for one another, it is found and renewed.

Hebrews 10:23

Join us today by praying for our counselors; for knowledge in guiding each youth. Pray for those who undergo therapy; that they gain the necessary tools and strength for healing.

Consider giving to and signing up for the Living Lent devos. 🙏
