Blog Posts by Topic: Summer
I wanted to share a quick story that the Children's Team kind of sees as a tiny but significant miracle.
During kids camp, we planted quite a few seeds in the patch of garden that lines the side of the Children's building at Taft. For a while some plants flourished but, unfortunately, died out in the Summer heat, never yielding fruit. We stopped watering or caring for the garden, except for one faithful maintenance man, Lloyd. Lloyd & then Haley, spotted some plants that had started a vine and had grown outside of the small outlined garden and, unexpectedly, started growing in the grass. They made sure the small vines were not mowed down and carefully started watering them as often as he thought of it. As the drought started hitting Houston, and everything...

WE CAN HARDLY WAIT FOR NEXT YEAR!
This week I asked one of our loyal volunteers to share with us about a project that is near and dear to her heart & how she plans to spend her Summer. Emily Hazen is a teacher who serves twice monthly with our Kindergarten & 1st grade class at the 9AM service. If your child attends that class, they know Emily well and likely have been very impacted by her teaching style and active presence in their lives.
Emily helped put on the Storybook campout to raise money for her project & the kids have been folding cranes for about 6 weeks as part of the story they heard and a way to show support for the library. We plan on talking about the project more with the kids at HEAD HANDS HEART & letting the kids decide on ways to help her as she is in El Transito this...
