Sixty-plus tables filled the Midway Church sanctuary for the Denton Freedom House’s 12th annual gala.

Each table had a vibrant green plant at the center, with seed packets beside every plate. The theme this year was “Where Fresh Starts Take Root.”

“This year is all about people getting a new chance,” said Chad Eskew, director of Development and Growth at Denton Freedom House. “We believe that the gospel is the fresh seed that is implanted into the men and women, and then that seed takes root. And Psalm 1:3 says that ‘in everything we do, we prosper.’” Fresh starts took place in many ways, as Eskew described how the men and women in the program shared their testimonies at different tables before the service and guided guests to their seats.
