Better Together From A Social Distance
These strange times have called for some unprecedented innovation, and churches are certainly stepping up. All throughout the greater Houston area, churches are getting creative in their care for one another and the larger community. So we wanted to take a moment to celebrate just a few of the stories of the Body of Christ doing what it does best—sharing and showing the love of Christ.
No Child Should Sleep on the Floor
As you go to sleep tonight, think about the value of a comfortable and safe place to sleep. Sleep is not only a necessity, but it's also a vulnerable state. The last thing a child should have to think about is where they have to sleep. If you would like to help sponsor, build, and/or deliver beds for children who currently have no bed to sleep in, NW Houston's chapter of Sleep in Heavenly Peace will have an open build day Saturday. Sign up now!
Better Together in Our Communities
At UBA, we talk a lot about being better together—because we know it to be true. When churches work together to advance the gospel, they can do all kinds of things that would never have been possible for each individual church. In the same way, churches can also partner with schools in their communities, as well. We recently got the chance to talk with Kevin Alvarez, lead pastor of Long Point Baptist Church, and hear how Loving Houston helped connect and equip his church to be better together with their local school district.
