New Office Artworks from the Creative Echoes Crew

​

Dear St. Margaret’s,

​

As many of you know, I have a long-held belief that how we serve the unhoused and those living in poverty is a direct reflection of how we serve Christ.

​

Jesus tells us in Matthew 25 that when we feed the hungry, welcome the stranger, clothe those in need, and care for the vulnerable, we are doing it for Him. “Whatever you did for one of the least of these…you did for me.”

I believe that means everything—how we speak to the least of these, how we listen, and yes, even the spaces we welcome them into.

​

It is why the Outreach offices have no metal chairs, but comfortable places to sit. It is why there is color everywhere. I believe bright, intentional colors create inviting spaces that don’t simply say, “We accept you,” but instead say, “We celebrate you. We are grateful you are here. We believe you were wonderfully made on purpose.”

For a while now, I have been waiting for the perfect pieces of art for our waiting room to continue this idea that we all deserve to be welcomed into an inviting space.

​

Thanks to our Creative Echos crew, now we have just that!

​

And it looks fantastic.

​

I am so grateful for the leadership of Trenda Bullen and for all of the parents who helped make this happen. It was a messy—and equally fun-filled—evening, driven by a shared belief that Christ calls us to love our neighbors well.

Please take a look below at some pictures of our new space and the artists who made it happen.

​

And I invite you to come by and see our offices. Come see what we are trying to create here. Then, share this vision of how we serve our neighbors with those who may be looking for a place to share some of the gifts God has given them, or with those you know who may need a little assistance getting over a hump.

​

As always, I am happy to share a coffee or a meal if you want to continue this conversation, or if you have questions about why we serve the way we serve.

​

Times are hard, y’all.

​

People are contacting my office every single week who have never had to ask for assistance before. That reality is a reminder that this work matters now more than ever.

​

So let’s continue to be a shining example and a light to the Carrollton community—not by offering our neighbors the bare minimum, but by offering them the very best of the gifts God has given us.

​

Because our neighbors deserve our best.

​

And because when we serve them, we are serving Christ.

​

Let’s keep loving our corner well.

​

​

Peace and love, my friends,

​
