School is back in session and summer is almost over. Labor Day is fast approaching, which usually signals a drastic slow-down of our visitors to Port O’Connor. We really are suffering from the lack of rain along with most of Texas. We need to continue to pray for rain; God will listen.

Brother George Yarbrough’s preaching is bringing the congregation closer to the Lord. Both the morning and evening services on Sunday are filled with members and visitors. This past Sunday, Brother Raymond Grant led the congregation in singing “This Is My Father’s World” and “Because He Lives”. Brother grant inspired the children with the Children’s Sermon, and the parents gave a big ovation. The Choir sang the beautiful Gospel song, “The Eastern Gate”. It was a very worshipful Sunday!

The Church’s Pastor Search Committee is still diligently and prayerfully reviewing resumes submitted to them by prospective pastors. The men of the Church are meeting early each Tuesday morning to pray for the Church and the Committee. God has a man for the Church Shepherd and prayer will help the Committee find him.
