Celebrate & Accelerate!
In 2013, many of you participated in Loving Houston's renovation initiatives. Thank you for your willingness to love Houston in this way!
As Michael wrote in February, we are now pursuing longer-term transformation via church-school partnerships. Will you help us celebrate current partnerships and accelerate future partnerships? Please hit 'reply' and let us know if: - you know of an existing church-school partnership that we can celebrate
- you are interested in starting your own church-school partnership
There are so many schools in need throughout greater Houston: what a great opportunity for churches to tangibly show Christ's love!
Let your light shine before others that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven. Matthew 5:16
