How is The Caring Place different from other social service agencies?
By jjones | July 28, 2009
There are many social services agencies in Bradley County, what makes The Caring Place unique?
That is an interesting question and has an equally interesting answer. The Caring Place began as an endeavor of four churches to meet a need more effectively by pooling their resources. After several years, this initial idea of joining together to help more has grown to 52 churches of 12 denominations and more than 100 local business. Yet this is not all that makes The Caring Place unique.
It is the feeling you get when you walk in the doors. There is an attitude of gratitude at The Caring Place. This atmosphere of caring is created by the volunteers who serve each day. Every morning is began by a time of staff-led devotion. This 30 minutes is dedicated to sharing from God’s word an encouraging or challenging message. There is also time for sharing personal burdens and praying for each other. Each devotional time is ended with prayer for the volunteers and for the clients. Devotions are a daily reminder for the staff and volunteers of the true focus of The Caring Place, meeting needs with Christ’s love.
Volunteers who care enough to serve with prayer, that is what makes The Caring Place different.
