This last August 5 we went to Boys and Girls Country in Hockley and helped them with their spring cleaning. Over 40 Presbyterian Churches did service projects all over South East Texas that day. We came together the next night for worship to share what we did. This promises to be an annual event.
This year the day of service will be August 7 2010. There will be a Celebration Worship Service on August 15 at various locations around the presbytery. Stay tuned.
This year we put together 64 gift boxes to take to the Seaferer's Center to be distributed to men and women on the ships that come to the Port of Houston in the month of December. Our boxes brought the total to almost 5,000 boxes that have been collected from churches. The Seaferer's Chaplains will give out 11,000 gift boxes over this month.
On April 11 we participated in the CROP walk in the Woodlands. Proceeds will benefit CROP and go to fight hunger in the world.
