Church Leaders,
This season of life is something none of us would have asked for and something we hope is over soon. In the midst of the crisis, however, is an unprecedented opportunity to demonstrate a central call of our faith: to love our neighbors.
Simple connections and acts of kindness can give hope to the discouraged, create new friendships, and even open the door for life-changing conversations.
“Love… Where You Live” is a simple initiative championed by several churches in Katy and West Houston in the midst of our “Shelter in Place” experience.
It includes a two-Sunday message emphasis that many are kicking off right after Easter, and four weeks of intentional connections and caring prayers for our neighbors.
Imagine a cul-de-sac of families “socially distanced” in their driveways, but sharing stories about their lives. Imagine children giving concerts at curbside on their instruments from the school band. Imagine a widow who lives alone with the new assurance that she has others walking through this with her. And imagine a community of believers praying for their neighbors every day —by name and by need, because they’ve taken the time to listen.
We think the call to “Love… Where You Live” is more important right now than it’s ever been. Will you join us?
