Roof Dog?
Since 2005, the annual Roof Dog Run has been held by Roof Dogs from the Plano area as a fun family event which raises funds to benefit orphaned children in Peru and raise awareness for international needs. In Arequipa, some dogs
actually live on the rooftops of their owners' homes, serving as protectors over their family's household.
Inspired by the canines, a group of missionaries from Christ Church Plano adopted the name for themselves as a way of expressing their love and desire to protect the children of Casas Hogares children's homes. Casa Hogar San Jose and Casa Hogar Sagrada Familia are the homes of orphaned children ranging in age from 3 to 18. The Roof Dogs visit the orphanages annually and continue to be moved by the gentle spirit that these children exhibit.
All proceeds from the Roof Dog Run contribute to the Casas Hogares to build a new orphanage. The Casas Hogares provides shelter, food, clothing, and other daily necessities; as well as giving a hope for the future to children who have been abused, abandoned and neglected.

Moms ’n More
Posted August 1, 2010
Formerly known as Moms ‘n Mosa!cs, Moms ‘n More is an exciting ministry for all women. Moving beyond our foundation of focusing on moms, we have expanded this wonderful ministry to include all women who are eager to develop authentic relationships and be inspired by outstanding teaching. Moms ‘n More is an exciting place to join other women for a time of fellowship, worship, Bible-based teaching, and heart-to-heart small group discussion.
Moms ‘n More meets at 9:15-11:15 a.m. on the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of each month from September through May. Participants sit at tables with women in similar life stages and circumstances or who have children of similar ages. An outstanding children’s program is provided during the time we meet for children ages 3 to 5, and nursery is provided for younger children on a space-available basis.
This year our study is called Preventing Identity Theft. It will meet in the Fellowship Hall on the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays at 9:15 a.m. We are bombarded daily with messages about who we are or even who we should be. The only way to combat these damaging, false messages is to embrace the healing, true message of God’s Word. Preventing Identity Theft explores what the Scriptures teach us about our identity in Christ in order to help women live into the God given truth about who we are.
