Thornwell Emphasis Month 2025: How to be a Catalyst for Change
November is here, and this year is extra special, Thornwell is celebrating 150 years of serving children and families!
Thornwell Emphasis Month 2025 honors this milestone while highlighting the faithful friends and supporters who advocate for our mission and help raise awareness of the needs within our communities. This year, we focus on how God is at work through the children and families we serve, helping them grow Rooted in Faith.
What is Thornwell Emphasis Month?
For a century and a half, Thornwell has strengthened families, nurtured children, and provided resources that create hope and resilience. Thornwell Emphasis Month is a time to celebrate our shared ministry, shine a light on lives being transformed, and invite our community to join us in this mission. Together, we empower children and families to thrive, spiritually, emotionally, and socially.
Why Rooted In Faith?
This year, Rooted in Faith reflects not only our unwavering belief that faith is the anchor for hope, healing, and growth, but also celebrates 150 years of Thornwell’s enduring mission. Since 1875, faith has grounded every step of our work, guiding us as we care for children, strengthen families, and build communities of belonging.
At Thornwell, we know that when families are rooted in faith, supported by resources, education, and compassionate care, they can weather life’s storms and flourish. Every child deserves a loving, stable home, and every family deserves the tools to thrive. For 150 years, faith has been our foundation, and it continues to grow strong through every life transformed.
