What: September 1st, 2018 marks two important events: 1) the one-year anniversary of Hurricane Harvey, which visited historic devastation upon the Texas Gulf Coast from August 25-September 3, 2017 and 2) the World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation hosted by the Catholic and Orthodox Churches. A diverse coalition of Houston-based churches, organizations, and neighbors will come together to mark these dates in a time of common prayer to call attention to the ongoing work of recovery in Houston, to lift up victims of extreme weather around the world, and to call upon our leaders—both local and national—to put forward real solutions to the climate crisis.
