Celebrating 60 Years! The Mission is the Legacy.

Instead of going through the motions…

What if Carrie Filling Vajen had lived her Christian life “going through the motions”? What if she had chosen to be served and not to serve? What if her heart for the weak and forgotten had not moved her to be Jesus to the last and the least?

When Carrie Filling Vajen decided to give everything, to do more than just what was expected of a Christian, she, in honor and memory of the Filling family, opened the doors to this Home of Mercy. At that time, she may not have understood the significance of her actions, but 60 years later, we understand clearly what Filling Homes has meant to those we serve.

Learn about the love that Jesus has for us through scripture readings, song and story! This service, designed especially for people with disabilities and their families, welcomes everyone and all are encouraged to participate as they are able and as the Spirit moves them.

Filling Homes’ “The Mission is the Legacy”, 60th Anniversary celebration was officially kicked off on March 6! Planned to take place in March during Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month, the event included a Blessing of Hands ceremony by Filling Homes Chaplain, Pastor Denise Brown.
