Mother's Day Offering

Mother's Day Offering: The Gift of Home

Mrs. Jean Cann and Robert Sprouse, Executive Director , Martha Franks Retirement Community

SCBMA believes in honoring the Biblical command to care for and honor our senior adults. Funds received through the Mother's Day Offering are used to provide lifelong housing and care for qualified retired pastors, missionaries, their spouses & other residents with charitable care needs who have faithfully served the Lord and have exhausted all funds for basic living expenses in retirement. God has used the generosity of His people to allow these senior adults to remain in our communities and receive the care that they need. Please prayerfully consider continuing this legacy through your gift.

Mrs. Jean Cann is grateful for your gifts to the annual Mother's Day Offering.  She has lived at Martha Franks Retirement Community since she and her husband, John, helped with the groundbreaking on the campus in 1983.   She recalls there were 80 residents when the community first opened.  Eight moved in each week for ten weeks!

Not only did Jean and her husband live at Martha Franks, her father also lived there until he passed away at 98.  

It means a lot to Jean, knowing that SCBMA still has the same mission and values as when she and her husband helped open Martha Franks.    And that,  after supporting the work of SCBMA for many years, she is now able to remain in her cottage because of the generosity of others who give to our annual Mothers Day Offering.
