Back 2 Basics Ministry

The Kids and I were blessed to be apart of the monthly CPS birthday celebration held this month at the Vineyard Church on Kuyendahl Rd. It is an awesome time to praise the Lord and give hope to those hurting teenagers who are in the care of CPS. The boys and girls are between 14-17 years old. We celebrate them with a cupcakes and ice cream. Local businesses provide the meal such as Chickfila, Lupe's Tortillas, etc. Donations provide for teddy bears, pillowcases, blankets for those just entering the foster care system. Barbara, the ministry leader, takes the youth to church activities across North Houston and also to lunch, skating etc to use their gift certificates received for their birthdays.
