The Potter's House of Dallas, to place a dynamic church in Fort | ||
Worth's Woodhaven community; and | ||
WHEREAS, The church is located in a former shopping center | ||
and has already begun to play a role in the revitalization of the | ||

Patrick Winfield, The Potter's House of Fort Worth is working to | ||
engage young people in church activities through a mentorship | ||
program with local elementary schools; the church also offers a | ||
Manpower men's program and a women's outreach program known as | ||
Sisters Helping Other Extraordinary Sisters, or SHOES; and | ||
WHEREAS, The opening of its Fort Worth campus is a | ||
reflection of the commitment of The Potter's House to providing | ||
enlightenment and hope to its members throughout the Metroplex; | ||
now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, | ||
83rd Legislature, hereby commend The Potter's House of Fort | ||
Worth on its outstanding work in the community and extend to its | ||
clergy and membership best wishes for a memorable grand opening | ||
