I believe there are many organizations based upon God's amazing love, even if unspoken in their mission statements. These four have been special to me through the years. THANK YOU to each of these ministries for helping children and their families in the different seasons of their lives. GOD'S BLESSINGS upon you and your work! |

Botetourt WRE Council ~ The mission of the Virginia Weekday Religious Education Association is to provide the opportunity for Virginia's public school students, with parental written permission, to go off campus and receive Bible instruction. This offered curriculum is made possible through the "released time" religious education program set forth in the U.S. Supreme Court 1952 Zorach Decision. WRE benefits include supplementing home and church instruction, helping children understand their uniqueness and value in the Kingdon of God, and encouraging students to pursue a personal relationship with Jesus. There are 19 WRE Councils in the state of Virginia.
