Doing Justice
As a response to the Life of Prayer series, we welcome you to visit the Prayer Room (in the Chapel) to be reminded of and to pray about some of the social justice issues we face in Houston. “Doing Justice” (Micah 6:8) means looking beneath the surface and addressing the ungodly systems of oppression in this world. When Christians respond to injustice, we take part in God’s Kingdom on earth and bear witness to the transformative power of Christ to “make all things new.” The Prayer Room will be available throughout the week.

If you would like to join us for prayer please come on Wednesday evenings to Praying Together. We meet in the Chapel at 6:00 pm to pray together for various needs of the church and church members.
