Executive Director's Message
|
Friends,
Five days ago, TCT and others from our local faith community organized a prayer gathering, 'Standing in Solidarity' to support our Muslim brothers and sisters after the Mosque shooting in Christchurch, New Zealand. Our friends at the Islamic Association of Tarrant County graciously opened their doors for the community to gather, pray and support. We were honored to hear from instrumental faith and public service leaders in our community. (Read more in an article below) I had the privileged to serve as master of ceremonies for this important event. At the conclusion of the service, we encouraged all who attended to stay, eat and get to know someone new. From this horrible tragedy, stronger relationships among faiths were formed. May we continue to support our friends of other faiths. If would be an honor to help connect you to our local Jewish and/or Islamic community. Also, be on the lookout for more opportunities for future interfaith initiatives!
On April 28, Bobby Duncan, Fort Worth- based singer/songwriter is hosting a fun benefit concert for TCT! The line up of artists will be incredible. Read more below. Hope to see you there!
Blessings to you this spring season. My prayer for you this season is that you will lean into something new, dig deeper into something you care about, and to seek the Divine in each new day.
Blessings and Peace,
Lindsay Klatzkin

6:8 Project - Looking for Board Members
|
|
The 6:8 Project is an exciting, creative, new model in which Jesus followers covenant with one another to live into a Spirit-led journey
of compassionate community and scandalous discipleship. As small groups engage in Reformed Bible study and mission advocacy, 6:8 participants answer the call to do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly… Our journey, ever seeking a closer walk with Christ, will involve praying, working, accompaniment, sharing, laughing, serving neighbor and breaking bread in His name. Trusting that God will lead the way, we will seek to deepen our relationship with God and neighbor by risking, obeying, and working to truly follow the example of Jesus Christ.
The 6:8 Project currently focuses on the Greenway neighborhood of Fort Worth. The project partners with residents as well as Trinity Habitat for Humanity, the Greenway Neighborhood Association, Greenway Church, Emmanuel Presbyterian Church of Bedford and other organizations and uses the house at 1912 Portland Ave., a Trinity Habitat for Humanity home, as a base of operations.
If you are interested in serving as a potential board member of The 6:8 Project, please reach out to Ken Richardson via email: k.richardson.math@gmail.com

Participants in the James L. West Center for Dementia Care's Senior Adult Day Program were some of the first attendees of the First United Methodist Church Dementia Friendly Weekly Chapel Service.
Finding that the regular hymnals were not dementia friendly, the West Center offered to create dementia friendly hymnals for use at the weekly service. To add a little art to the hymnals, the West Center Day Program participants created water color images to insert into the covers of each binder/book. The Day Program participants created 25 custom hymn books complete with custom artwork from the Day Program participants. The completed hymnals will be housed at First United Methodist Church Fort Worth and will become part of the Dementia Friendly Fort Worth program.
