The weekend of October 13-14 has been named World Homeless Weekend to raise awareness of the plight of many of our brothers and sisters who live on the streets, a large portion of whom are families with children. Our pew sheet this month is a reflection from Brett Hamilton, a member of St. John the Divine, Houston and chair of SEARCH’s Council of Congregations, one of the organizations in Houston that brings churches together to fight homelessness. Please distribute this pew sheet to your church members and make a plan to do something to help the homeless population in your community, especially on this one weekend to help raise awareness.
