Hope for the Homeless at Star of Hope
At the Star of Hope two thirds of those served each day are women and children. Many of the families arrive at the Women and Family Emergency Shelter after having lived in their cars or outstaying their welcome in a family member's or friend's home. It is always the hope at SOH that once these families overcome their immediate crisis, they will choose to stay long enough to receive the help they need to achieve independent living once again.
At the SOH annual banquet in February, Pastor Lawrence Scott shared how his life was changed through the love and care provided to his family by Star of Hope Mission when he was a child. His story is a testament to how God can turn a child's hopelessness into a "dream come true" thanks to Star of Hope supporters, who give of their time talent and treasure to help those most in need.

Volunteer at Star of Hope! On the third Sunday of each month, St. Luke's volunteers go to the Star of Hope Transitional Living Center to assist with their lunch service. Please pray for our volunteers who will go out in service this coming Sunday, May 17. If you would like to volunteer for a third Sunday mission project to Star of Hope, use the sign up sheet in the narthex or call the church office, 713.667.6531 to let us know.
