St. John’s provides and maintains low-cost housing to long-term medical patients from outside the Houston area. The name “Anchor House” was chosen because St. John’s wanted the apartment to be the patient’s home-away-from-home.
BIM is a coalition of 12 congregations who provide physical, spiritual, and emotional assistance to persons in need in southwest Houston. St. John’s members provide food, clothing, and job counseling to people in need. Fresh vegetables from the garden are donated to the BIM food pantry to feed the hundreds of people who show up each week for assistance.
We have completed 8 garden beds, and our gardeners are planting spring vegetables. Our group now includes ~15 gardeners. We hope to continue to expand our garden in the near future by adding more garden beds, inviting PCHAS residents to participate and eventually adding a prayer area near the garden. Come and see our garden grow!
Please call the church office,
