As we reflect this week on Jesus' willingness to lay down his life for us, let's pray to be ready and willing to serve others with our love in action.

ADVOCACY ALERT: Your voice is valuable

We serve. We advocate. We make a difference.


Our elected officials are in Austin discussing all sorts of policy changes for people living in Texas.  Our interfaith policy network, Texas Impact, can help you understand the issues and know how to advocate for your faith values. Advocating is a way of taking action for a more just world to improve life for women, children and youth. Use your voice!

REGISTER NOW - all are invited!

Environmental Justice Requires Racial Justice

Saturday, April 22nd  10 am - noon

What is 'environmental justice'? Why does it require racial justice? Our speaker will be Ilka Vega, national UWF Executive for Economic and Environmental Justice. After her presentation we will gather in small groups for Table Talk on how our communities are affected by both issues, and what action steps we can take together and as individuals to make a difference in our world.
