Written by Hannah Coe, reflecting the extraordinary work of HOTNIR's Faith Support Team and Refugia — read this opinion piece in Baptist News Global

Dear Editor: We, the Heart of Texas Network for Immigrant Rights (HOTNIR) Faith Support Team, are — as people of faith — compelled to condemn the violence against immigrant and mixed-status families we are witnessing in our community. We recognize people of faith inevitably hold differing views ...

“Rarely, if ever, are any of us healed in isolation. Healing is an act of communion.” ~ bell hooks

Join Lake Shore Baptist Church this Sunday at 10:45 am in person or online for communion and community. Togetherness is a gift; truth is necessary, and healing is found when differences are pushed aside, and God’s people love one another.

Back-to-school season at LSBC looks a little different. As Christians, we know that God has bestowed upon us the gift of children. It is our goal and duty to raise children and their childlike wonder, to nourish them and care for them as God cares for us. To honor this, LSBC Waco offers the Little Food Pantry and the Free Little Library for our community, who are always children in God’s eyes. Take what you need and give what you can!

P.s. We tagged Pack of Hope on our second slide; they are a wonderful organization creating bags of non- perishable foods for kids to take home over weekends!

A worthwhile read that challenges and asks: does our theology — and our church — quietly equate wholeness with able-bodiedness? Real accompaniment means more than helping people reach Jesus; it means examining what we've built, and who it was built for.

How often, upon seeing a disabled person, do we jump in to help? And how often is our unsolicited help actually disruptive? Real accompaniment is different.

"Everybody's been there, everybody's been stared down
By the enemy
Fallen for the fear and done some disappearing
Bow down to the mighty
But don't run, stop holding your tongue...

Say what you wanna say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave."

-- Sara Bareilles from her album, "The Blessed Unrest"
