CLOTHED BY FAITH
Saturday, July 12, 9-12pm
Grace Fellowship Student Ministry Building
Clothed by Faith provides one week's worth of clothing, shoes, new socks and new underwear to children and adults in need in our community. Every day, they see firsthand the impact a single bag of clothing can have in restoring dignity, bringing comfort and giving people hope for a fresh start.
Please join us and Clothed by Faith in demonstrating God’s love through the provision of clothing to those in need by helping sorting the clothing donations.
If you are unable to serve on July 12, but want to donate clothing, please drop it off at Clothed by Faith, 802 Dominion Drive, #100, Katy, prior to July 12. They accept all clothing and shoes that are clean, without stains, rips, tears or holes, not too badly worn, and modest in appearance with no inappropriate wording.

HOUSTON WELCOMES REFUGEES – WELCOME KIT DRIVE
Saturday, July 26, 9-12pm
Grace Fellowship Student Ministry Building
Houston Welcomes Refugees mobilizes our city to welcome refugees with compassion, hope and honor as they resettle and start a new life in Houston.
We are excited to be offering a refugee orientation session with time to build refugee refresh kits, pack KIDS kits and create welcoming and encouraging notes to be included in the kits. This is a great family-friendly event! All ages are welcome!
KIDS kits are backpacks filled with school supplies, empowering these children to focus on starting the year strong. Refresh kits are personal hygiene items and cleaning supplies which are essentials needed in any home.
Come help us equip kids for a successful start to their school year and meet very tangible needs for any home!
If you are unable to serve on July 26 but would like to donate a small toy to be included in the KIDS kit backpacks, you may drop your donation off at Grace Fellowship’s Ministry Center. Please place your donation in the gray bin located on the right side of the exterior front door and mark all donations “Local Missions”. Please see HWR Welcome Kit Drive GIFT LIST for suggested ideas.
