Mark Your Calendars for Oct 25th!
Our Annual Choices of the Heart Event will be a “Purple Carpet Affair” at the Belle House here in Statesboro. (More details to come.) Our guest speaker is Mark Schultz, Christian Music artist and Pro-Life speaker. We will start the evening with a “Meet & Greet” Dessert Social, a wonderful time to mingle and meet our board members and staff. Join us; you don’t’ want to miss this time to celebrate what God is doing through your support in saving the lives of the unborn.
As this year moves forward let us continue to rejoice in what the Lord has done and is doing. Many things continue to shift and change in this area of ministry. Being the Voice for the Unborn and Bridging the Gap for women experiencing unplanned and crisis pregnancies is at the center of our mission here at Choices of the Heart Pregnancy Resource Center. But as laws are changed in our state it affects us greatly here at the clinic. The needs of the young women who come to us looking for advice, comfort, and resources is greater and we are working hard to meet those needs. We would love to have you partner with us in whatever capacity you can. When we all work together the job becomes lighter and more lives are saved. That is what we are all called to do.
We all know times are hard right now, but could you give $10 a month? No donation is too small. That little bit of money adds up and is multiplied when put together with others who want to save lives too! Let me tell you what this provides, it provides counseling, ultrasounds, literature, resources, references, diapers, wipes, clothing, formula, baby food, maternity clothing and much much more. Plus, unconditional love and support through the whole pregnancy and afterwards. Won’t you join us in “Saving Lives?” Contact us for more details on ways to donate.

We are so thankful to have a support team and community with a heart for the Lord and other people. Here are a couple of fun/quick updates!
~ Erica Lanier, owner of Wax-n-Wix Candles, has created a signature FRC candle to sell as a fundraiser for us!! Perfect for any space year-round, the scent is a mixture of salty oceanic accords, sandalwood, rosemary, and a touch of sage. The candle is a 16 ounce, 3 wick soy candle which comes in a beautiful FRC teal blue tin! Candles are now available as pre-order and will close on August 7th. Candles will be available for local pick-up on August 22nd from Foundations Resource Center. If you are not local, your candle order will ship on August 22nd. PLACE ORDER AT https://wax-n-wix.com/collections/candles/products/foundations-resource-center-soy-candle
All proceeds (excluding supply costs) will go directly to Foundations Resource Center! 
~ We have a new Amazon Baby Registry! We’ve had a lot of folks reach out and ask, “Besides monetary gifts, what else do y’all need?” So to make it easy for those who want to donate in-kind, we’ve created a registry which we will update as needs arise! Check it out at https://www.amazon.com/baby-reg/1XCMRYVWXFF9J?ref=br_search_v2_desktop_res_1
If you order from the registry, you may choose to have the items shipped to you personally and just drop them by when they arrive, or you can choose to ship to the shipping address we have on our account, which should be under Allison Waters (our director). **Note, please do not have items shipped directly to our office address, as we are not here every day and would not want packages to be damaged or stolen!**
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us! Thank you, again, for your support!

Purpose
As an ASSOCIATION:
We Are A Family of Churches Making Christ Known >>> “Ye Shall Be Witnesses Unto Me…” Acts 1:8
INDIVIDUALLY:
We examine God’s word in order to find our true purpose.
SCRIPTURES for this Month:
2 CORINTHIANS 3:17: Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
GALATIANS 5:1: Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.
ROMANS 6:6: … knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin.
GALATIANS 5:13: For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.
[REMEMBER: It’s NOT our job to change/save others. That’s the Redeemer’s job. We are called to be His witnesses/ambassadors. Always give God the glory; it’s His and His ALONE!]
