Sagemont Church

Located near the intersection of Interstate 45 South and Beltway 8 in Houston, Texas, Sagemont Church has been an oasis of hope to many who live in this part of town.  Upon moving to Houston in November of 1994, I experienced Sagemont Church for the very first time.  Not much time had to pass before realizing this would be my spiritual home.  Even now, decades later and hundreds of miles away, I still consider this church as my place of refuge and rest.  Some of my fondest memories were made here.  As part of the singles group, we would often meet for dinner after the Wednesday evening service.  Another memory is of my friend, Charles McKinney.  I would always sit behind him during the worship service.  Often he would slip me a piece of candy or simply tap me on the leg as a sign of friendship.  The good times weren't always about what I would gain from attending this church.  During a particular season of life I did volunteer in the bookstore.  In addition to this very public role, I would also anonymously help out with those in the church who, for whatever reason, couldn't help themselves.  A few of the deacons, from time to time, would approach me about mowing an elderly person's yard or to perform general cleanup around a person's home.  Sometimes I would simply keep someone company whom the rest of the world had forgotten.  Maybe at some point in the future, I will be able to once again regularly attend Sagemont.  Until then, I must content myself with watching virtually through the internet campus every Sunday and Wednesday.  (www.sagemontchurch.org)  Please check out this awesome place.  You certainly won't be disappointed.
