FEATURED IMPACT NOW OPEN Katy Community Fellowship maintains the 2.7-acre Open Cross Prayer Park , located at 24102 Kingsland Blvd., Katy. Ocially dedicated on Palm Sunday, April 10, the park features seven stations for specic subjects of worship: salvation, healing, revival, family, strongholds, authorities and nations. Each prayer space is connected by a walking path that is lined with 66 steel scripture tiles, and each tile highlights a verse from the Bible pertaining to prayer. Tim Barker, lead pastor at Katy Community Fellowship, said the park gives visitors many opportunities to engage in faith practices. “[Families] can listen to worship music, and as they walk around the park, they can listen to scriptures,” Barker said. “We have the data on QR codes, and there is one at each of the prayer points. It tells you a little bit about the artwork and the scriptures that go with it.” Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program—Medicaid and Medicare; provides financial assistance for rent, utilities and prescriptions along with vouchers for clothes and furniture as well as gas cards when available; and offers food assistance where people can receive emergency bags, personal care items, nonperishable food
