Dear Members,
In the famous words of Forrest Gump, Texas weather is “like a box of chocolates: you never know what you’re gonna get.” There are people in our church and community that were negatively impacted by last week’s freezing temperatures. Many of our members were able to provide shelter and food to those without heat and water. Let’s keep those who have suffered loss in our prayers as they begin to repair and restore what has been damaged.
