Weekly Update: January 22, 2025
Word from the Pastor:
I pray this weekly newsletter finds you well and warm. I hope you enjoyed our little Texas size snow storm, I know we did. I wanted to take a moment and tell you all how much I appreciate you. How excited I am to serve alongside you in this beautiful part of Texas. I pray that as we journey through the life of Jesus we will hear a story that we have been invited to join, rather than a simple message to explain. We started a couple of weeks ago listening to John talk about all things pointing to Jesus, last week we read about the journey of discipleship and the invitation to allow Jesus to engage our prejudices so that we can be who we need to be to our communities.
Have a great week and we'll see you on Sunday!

Upcoming Events
Volunteers Needed
Our church needs your support! If God is calling you and you are interested in a volunteer opportunity, please complete this form or contact one of the trustees or pastor. Thank you! https://forms.gle/K2AFU9b9fbeoiZyM7
The Board has a working list of volunteer needs relative to the church service and maintenance items at the church. Be on the lookout for this list and be in prayer about how you can help.
If you have a gift of organizing and/or managing, please consider the Hospitality Coordinator volunteer position. This is an organizational role responsible for recruiting and assigning volunteers for the Sunday Social Hour, 5th Sunday luncheon, holiday meals and general business meeting snacks, etc. Duties of the volunteers that you recruit would include set-up, clean-up, and keeping the kitchen stocked with supplies (coffee, sugar, creamer, paper goods, condiments, juice).
Social Hour: Sundays at 10:00 am
Our social hour is a great way to get to know each other over breakfast tacos! We meet in the Education Building at 10:00 a.m. before the 11:00 a.m. church service.

Beginning the month of February, the 2nd Sunday of each month is designated for pantry donations. Please place your nonparishable food items in the blue barrel in the Education Building.
