Palmer Reaches Out

At Palmer, outreach is not an add-on to our life together — it is an expression of who we are. Rooted in prayer, shaped by relationship, and guided by compassion, Palmer Reaches Out reflects our long-standing commitment to serve our neighbors and to seek the peace of Christ beyond our walls.

For generations, Palmer has been engaged in ministries of care, justice, and presence in Houston and beyond. Today, that work continues and is being thoughtfully renewed. With the leadership of The Rev. Mary Reddick, Deacon, and the partnership of the Outreach Council, Palmer Reaches Out is entering a season of discernment and growth — building clearer structure, deeper connections, and new opportunities for engagement.

We believe outreach begins with listening: to God, to one another, and to the needs of the world around us. Whether through hands-on service, shared learning, or the giving of needed items, Palmer Reaches Out invites the whole parish to participate in the work of love at the heart of the gospel.

Donations

This year we’ll be providing 4,000 filled plastic eggs for the students of Yellowstone Academy, a Christian school serving more than 600 children in the Third Ward. We’d love your help by donating individually wrapped MINI-size candy only to fill the eggs. Please bring donations to the church for Deacon Mary by March 8. Then join us on March 15 in the Parish Hall as we gather to fill the eggs — many hands make light work! Children are welcome to help with supervision as we prepare the eggs to be shared with the students.
