Please join Sharing Hope Ministry for a special summer giving campaign! Giving starts THIS FRIDAY, June 20th!
“With God nothing will be impossible.” Luke 1:37
Shattered. Broken. Tossed away. Hopeless. Unwanted. It may seem impossible to restore the rubble of your life, to put back together the broken pieces of your heart, BUT GOD. Nobody is beyond redemption or repair. He is a mighty God who is bigger than the seemingly impossible.
At Sharing Hope Ministry our mission is to assist at-risk and incarcerated women in changing their story by SHARING HOPE through Christ’s love!
Our vision is to equip women to be productive members of society, achieve their potential, and lead Christ-centered and self-sufficient lives through education, empowerment and encouragement!
We couldn’t do any of what we do without the financial support of community & church partnerships and private donors just like YOU!!
Will you join us in our mission and help us reach our goal of $20,000!? Giving days for this campaign are Friday June, 20th thru Friday July, 4th!

PPHM Invites Young Explorers to Dive into History and Science at Summer Camps

This year’s camps are Boulders, Brands, and Bones Camp and STEAM Camp, each offering a unique, hands-on experience tied to the rich history and scientific wonders of the Texas Panhandle.
Boulders, Brands, and Bones Camp (2nd–5th Grade)
Get ready to dig, build, create, and explore! At Boulders, Brands, and Bones Camp, campers will use their hands as much as their brains as they dive into the worlds of history, art, geology, and the Wild West. Each day brings a new adventure—whether it’s STEAM, dinosaurs, geology, or panhandle culture, there’s something new to discover every day! Special guests from the Discovery Center, Wild Hanbury’s, and Dove Creek Equine Rescue will bring the learning to life—whether it’s up-close animal encounters, scientific discoveries, or cowboy culture in action. Cost is $75 (PPHM members) and $95 (PPHM nonmembers) and includes a free t-shirt.
STEAM Camp (3rd-6th grades)
Focused on Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math, STEAM Camp combines creativity with critical thinking. Campers will conduct experiments, build, and design, in a way that brings science and innovation to life. With the help of our wonderful community partners, Discovery Center and Pantex, campers will be exposed to the world of STEAM as it relates to daily lives and various careers as well. Cost is $75 (PPHM members) and $95 (PPHM nonmembers) and includes a free t-shirt.

Who: Barrio Neighborhood Planning Committee and Amarillo National Bank
What: Free Home Buyer & Home Improvement Education Class
When: Thursday, June 26, 2025 from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
Where: Cactus Cove Inn and Suites meeting room, 2501 East Interstate 40, Amarillo, TX
Why: Did you know that 50% of El Barrio residents currently own their homes and several of these homes have been owned for three generations? This new percentage is a 2% increase from 2022 and our goal is to raise home ownership in El Barrio neighborhood to at least 55%.
Home ownership helps to improve El Barrio neighborhood by taking better care of your yard and property, having safer neighborhoods, and our families tend to live in their homes longer. To encourage and increase home ownership and home improvement, the Barrio Neighborhood Planning Committee (BNPC) will co-host a free home buyers and home improvement education class, in English and Spanish, with the Amarillo National Bank mortgage staff. This class will be held in the Cactus Cove Inn and Suites meeting room on the northside of the hotel in Amarillo, Texas at 6:00 p.m. Please park on the northside of the hotel.
During this class, you will learn about:
1) available homes for sale in or near the Barrio by a local realtor.
2) the process to get mortgage or home improvement financing.
3) tips for becoming a successful home owner.
4) partners and resources available to future home owners.
We invite all adults to participate in this free class and you are welcome to bring your children. Spanish interpreters will be available and other interpreters will be provided by the United Refugees Services nonprofit.
Free bottled water, a free dinner from a food truck, and door prizes will be provided by Amarillo National Bank.
The Barrio Neighborhood Planning Committee, a nonprofit 501c3 organization, was established in March 2017 in coordination with the City of Amarillo with a mission of preserving and revitalizing El Barrio neighborhood.
For more information to become involved with the BNPC, please contact Teresa Kenedy, President, at (806) 437-6592, visit our website at amarillobarrioneighborhood.com, or email us at: bnpamarillo@gmail.com.
