Weekly Update: March 26, 2025

Word from the Pastor:

I pray this Newsletter finds you doing well, and enjoying this warm weather.  I'm writing this from Iowa, where our weather is not as warm as yours, but not too bad - mid 50's.  I wanted to remind you that this coming Sunday, 30th, will be a Gospel-Band Sunday.  Then the following Sunday we will pick up our conversation about sin and the cross.  I know for many, this more expansive view on sin and the cross, especially at a universal and systemic level is rather new.  So, I wanted to remind you that the sermons from the last two weeks are up, HERE.  In addition, all that I have talked about so far are really primers into these perspectives, if you would like to look deeper into these, shoot me an email, and I can point you in the right direction.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy the rest of the week, and we'll see you soon!

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.

Dripping Springs Helping Hands Pantry

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.
