The local Presbyterian church in Bertram will play a vital role in helping Made for More launch its children’s reading program and extend extraordinary generosity at a pivotal moment in our ministry’s growth. As we prepare to begin this new initiative in January, the church has graciously offered the use of its fellowship hall—a gift that clearly reflects God’s hand at work in our ministry and throughout our community.
Their fellowship hall will become the heart of our early programming: a bright, welcoming, and accessible space where children will gather to read, learn, and experience the encouragement of caring mentors. By opening their doors at no cost, the Presbyterian church will remove one of the greatest barriers to starting a new community initiative—securing a safe and consistent place to meet. Their hospitality demonstrates a deep commitment to serving the families of Bertram and supporting efforts that uplift children and strengthen the community.
This partnership will also foster deeper relationships among congregations, nonprofits, families, and volunteers. As children and mentors come together each week, we expect to witness the beautiful ways God weaves people and resources together for His purposes. The church’s willingness to collaborate is already a powerful testimony to God’s provision, reminding us that He goes before us, preparing the way for ministries that seek to love and serve others.
Made for More is profoundly grateful for the Presbyterian church’s kindness, vision, and faithfulness. Their generosity will not only give our reading program a home—it will serve as a clear sign of God’s ongoing work in the lives of Bertram’s children and in the community we are called to serve.
