With so many socio-economic issues facing children in the Houston community today, St. John’s would like to empower its members to meet children’s needs and provide a lasting impact on the community. As a result, and as an extension of the Justice for All Children speaker series, Outreach Ministry Team has developed St. John’s 2009 Mustard Seed Project.
For the Mustard Seed Project, several St. John’s members will be granted $100 each to serve an at-risk child, or several children, in his/her community through acts of compassion. "Acts of compassion" can vary from purchasing needed school supplies and healthcare to providing new learning opportunities and legal counsel. The activities in which children are served is determined solely by the participant.
Subject to being awarded a grant, participation is limited to the first 10 who sign up. A sign-up sheet will be located in the narthex through May 31. The 90 day program will begin on June 1, and end on August 31, 2009. A kick-off meeting will be held after church on May 31 in room 205 for all project participants.
