Promoting Life, Faith, and Beliefs in Waco, Texas
Welcome to Turning Point Church of Galveston, a thriving faith-based community in Waco, Texas! We are excited to share with you how we celebrate October as Respect Life Month and our commitment to promoting life, faith, and beliefs within our community.
What is Respect Life Month?
Respect Life Month is an annual observance held during the entire month of October. It is a time when communities come together to reflect on the sanctity of life, discuss important ethical and moral issues, and raise awareness about the value of every human being, from conception to natural death.
