Loving Neighbor

is the second greatest commandment, according to Jesus, and it is like the first, Loving God. Who is our neighbor? You, of course, young and old alike. And also those at the margins of society who are least able to care for themselves.

Loving neighbor means kindness, companionship, encouragement, and release from spiritual and physical suffering. It means treating each other with compassion, a generosity of spirit, and as we would like to be treated ourselves. It begins at the table where we gather weekly for communion. We then meet for monthly potluck lunches where we get to know each other and welcome guests.

Our caring ministries include Fellowship groups for all ages,  the Disciples Women's and Men's groups, Young of Hearts for seniors, worship outreach to the  Silverado and Edenbrook retirement homes, and the specially-trained laypersons who are certified as Stephen Ministers.

We engage local and global missions of the church through direct service and monetary support for Interfaith of The Woodlands, ministries to Tamarac Pines, construction of the new church in Tamina, Disciples Regional and Global Missions projects, and Week of Compassion.

Children and Youth take advantage of local and regional service opportunities, such as the Humane Society, Hand Me Up Shop, Food Pantry, and Group Workcamp's Week of Hope.
