Executive Director's Message
Friends,
The holidays are upon us! May we all take intentional time during this busy season to reflect on the past year- the painful and the beautiful moments- and give God thanks. My prayer for you this season is that you will seek the Divine in all your interactions and efforts. Below is a wonderful way to approach this Advent Season shared by our Administrator, Ann Mills. Will you join us in this daily practice?

Blessings and Peace,
Lindsay Klatzkin
Donor and Volunteer Spotlight- Lola Michelle Winder


Born and raised in For Worth, Lola (some call her Michelle too) has been a life-long member of Broadway Baptist Church. At an early age, she discovered her love of photography. She began working for Sante Fe Railroad in 1993 which later merged as BNSF. Soon after, she started photographing unique boxcars and galleries began to notice her beautiful work. Her art was featured in shows in Colorado and North Texas. In 2007, she was awarded Fall Gallery Artist of the Year in 2007 in the Dallas Morning News. In 2015, Michelle started volunteering and donating to Tarrant Churches Together when TCT's Board Chair, Jorene Swift, communicated to her about the mission of this long-standing organization. Over the past three years, Michelle has not only given her resources, but her time with Home for the Holidays and Freedom School. Thank you, Michelle for all you continue to do for TCT! We are grateful for you.
