Diane Uhri
My formal service began in the spring of 2019. I was requested to lead the children’s recovery ministry at one of my local churches that has Celebrate Recovery on their campus. The idea that these children need recovery touched my heart. If these children from these broken families could learn about God’s love and learn tools to help them, then they could be one step ahead of the brokenness in their families, one step ahead of the dysfunction, and one step ahead of how to find their glory in their broken worlds.
COVID 19 Pandemic impacted my children’s ministry. I transformed the ministry into a Blog outreach to the parents where they can have access to the materials and work with their children at home.
In July 2021 we began to meet in person again as restrictions were lifted for gathering. Working alongside these children is a blessing. Many parents and children tell me that it is the best part of their week.
