Church raises funds to help teen moms

Posted

Ponte Vedra Church, located at 76 S. Roscoe Blvd., held a fundraiser on Saturday, Feb. 10, to raise money for Young Lives, a nonprofit organization with an office in Jacksonville Beach. It helps teen moms who choose to keep and raise their babies. Young Lives develops teams of caring adults to build relationships with teen moms and their children.

More than $1,700 were raised during this fundraiser.

Gatherings for the girls, their babies and children provide fun, practical help, life-skills training and a safe place to hear about hope and God’s unfailing love. Young Lives fosters emotional, social and spiritual needs of young mothers as they raise the next generation.

More information and a way to make donations to this mission can be found at jaxmetroyounglives.younglife.org or call 904 402-2686.

Ponte Vedra Church is a Bible-based, mission-driven congregation with an emphasis on supporting local communities. Worship services are held at 11 a.m. Sundays. Small Bible study groups meet throughout the week.
