"Reaching Forward Together"
Loving God, Loving Each Other, Loving to Share His Story

      "There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: ... a time to tear down and a time to build" (Ecclesiastes 3:1, 3).
      Well here we go again! In just two years, our region has suffered widespread flooding. Tropical Storm Imelda dumped 36" of rain in a twenty-four hour period; we received a total of about 43" of rain in a couple of days. This time our church membership has about thirty families with flooded homes (we had seventy families with flooded in Hurricane Harvey in 2017). Many of our current flooded families are second-time victims of flood waters. More of our families have flood insurance this time, yet not all.
      Our church Worship Center and Educational buildings are dry. Our unfinished Chapel, office complex and new Community Ministries buildings are dry. However, our Pre-School building and Gym were flooded. They are being dried out for restoration. Thankfully, our church does have flood insurance this time.
      Our ministry staff, deacons, leadership, and membership are all pitching in to help however possible. If you need help, our church office will pass along all offers of help and assistance we know about. Sign-up with multiple places and get on someone's list. Our rebuild will take time; this will be a marathon, not a sprint. Pray for your church, your Christian brothers and sisters, your neighbors and community.
      Remember that His eye is on the sparrow and I know He watches over you.

Read the Bible through in a year!

    Many of our members have chosen to participate in the "Read the Bible Through" project. In one year you too can read the entire Bible. It takes only about 15 to 20 minutes a day. Just think, you can read every word of God's message to us contained in Old and New Testaments. There are no other testaments or books of doctrine that are from God, just the Bible. Make this year the time your life changed! If you would like to view or print the reading schedule, Click here for "Read the Bible Through in a Year.pdf" (76kb)
