The Church is engaged this entire month in collecting donations for the “Annie Armstrong” Easter Offering for North American Missions. This offering is to help our missionary force to reach for Christ an estimated 258 million lost people in the United States and Canada. The national goal this year is $70 million. 100% of all contributions will go to support more than 5,000 missionaries in North America. The “Annie Armstrong” offering is 46% of the entire annual budget for this mission cause.
Going into “Daylight Saving Time” last Sunday gave a real boost to our attendance and we thought it would hurt attendance. Not so! Our morning worship service was well attended and we bid farewell to several “Winter Texans” as they headed back home. Brother Marcos preached a very inspirational sermon and the choir sang an enlightening song, “Sound the Battle Cry”, directed by Raymond Grant.
“Spring Break” is now over and our children are back in school. Just a little over two months and school will be out for the summer. This year is really moving fast. Easter is only a month away. Parents and grandparents, don’t forget this year’s annual Easter Egg Hunt which will be Saturday, April 23, at 2:00 p.m. at the church. Candice Stryker is again in charge of the hunt. There will be special areas for each age group to hunt eggs and some eggs will have a special prize. There will be refreshments for everyone. All children are invited to the hunt; just bring your Easter baskets.
Don’t forget our Annual Port O’Connor Easter Sunrise Service on the front beach at the covered pavilion. This is a must for everyone to attend. Easter Sunday, April 24, at approximately 7:00 a.m., you will hear special Easter music and sing with those in attendance. Brother Marcos Gohlke will deliver the Easter message. Don’t forget to bring your chair.
Vacation Bible School, “Big Apple Adventure”, for children Pre-K through sixth grade, will be held June 13-16 from 9:00 a.m. to noon each day. Mark your calendar for this great children’s experience.
See you in Church Sunday!
