2023 Stewardship of Gifts Booklet - Chapelwood United Methodist Church

Friends,
Chapelwood is an extraordinary place where people find deep relationships, put
down generational roots, and find themselves on a journey of transformation that
changes everything!
Our mission is to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the
world by embodying God’s grace as we receive it to those who need it. And
grace is not just an aspiration of our community; it is an experience of Divine
Presence that we encounter as we worship, as we serve alongside each other,
and as we fall in love with the world that God loves. Grace compels us towards
nurturing our own inner vulnerability (which often looks like telling the truth about
ourselves!) and to leaning towards the vulnerability that we see in the world. It
is grace that truly “leads us home.” This grace compels us to take the hand of
those in the world, to collaborate with partners in Spring Branch, Greater
Houston, Central America, the Middle East and Africa, and to partner towards
the transformation of the world.
The community of Chapelwood can be found embodying grace through tutoring
kids in reading and math, rebuilding homes that have been destroyed by flood
or fire, creating scholarships for the next generation, supporting hospitals and
orphanages around the world, loving refugees, hosting recovery meetings,
mentoring youth, visiting the sick, and supporting those in need. We have
nurtured partnerships that impact families from “Pitner Road” in North Spring
Branch to those living on “Unnamed Road” in Maua, Kenya.
On the following pages, you can see some of the amazing statistics that reflect
the impact we are having and hear some of the stories of those who you serve
among.
