Casseroles for a Cause
From October 27 to November 19, you can order Brookwood’s famous casseroles online, perfect for busy nights, family gatherings, or sharing with a friend in need. Every purchase helps support Brookwood’s mission of providing meaningful work and purpose for adults with disabilities.

Supporting Houstonians Impacted by SNAP Changes
With many in our community facing reduced SNAP (the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits, we invite you to support our community partners providing food assistance through service and generosity: Christian Community Service Center, The Beacon, Interfaith Ministries, and Kids' Meals.
Let us pray for all affected by hunger, for those who serve them, and for those entrusted with authority to make wise decisions on behalf of the common good.
At St. John the Divine, we believe Christ chooses each church member to represent him, especially to those who don't know his love or are in need. We love Houston and strive to be A Light for the City.
Whether you volunteer with a ministry here at church, serve in the community, or give your time in another way, we’d love to learn more about how you’re already serving.
Please take a few minutes to complete our short Go Ministry survey. Your responses will help us celebrate the many ways our parish lives out God’s call to serve.
