Jane Chislett and Carol Haverfield mixed fun with the work of cracking eggs for the Warrior’s breakfast. 135 dozen eggs were donated by Allan and Terri Quinn.
What a great weekend we had as we served our Wounded Warriors. Thanks to too many people to attempt to mention, we served in excess of 1,100 Breakfast Tacos. It took 135 dozen eggs, 150 pounds of sausage, 40 pounds of cheese, 10 pounds of butter, 6 pounds of coffee, 900 cartons of milk and orange juice, 300 apples and 300 bananas, and of course, the tortillas along with the serving ware. More importantly was the many hours of volunteer help that was donated. Because of the changes that were necessitated by the large number of Warriors, many of us were able to interact with the soldiers, which we truly enjoyed. We had some of our workers passing breakfast tacos on the buses as they arrived.
Although we were all very exhausted, we are ready to do what we can again next year to make the Wounded Warriors feel loved. Especially we who are veterans are thrilled with the way Port O’Connor honors those who have paid a great price to keep us free. Thank you, Veterans, and thank you, Wounded Warriors, for serving us!
Mother’s Day celebration were also extra special this year. We were blessed to have the ministry of Evangelists Gene and Mona Summers in both the morning and evening services. Actually Reverend Gene taught the Adult Bible Study, talking about what God is doing in revival efforts across this nation. For the past several years, more than 500 yearly have found Jesus as their personal Savior, just under their ministry – WOW!
In the morning service, we honored every mom present with a special gift. The evening activities began at 5:00 p.m., with another special service with the Summers. It was followed by a “Mexican-style Pot-luck Meal”. To the delight of all present, while we were eating, Mariachi Tejano showed up and played and sang for about two hours. It was a great time.
Our Fisherman’s Bible Institute (FBI) classes are coming to an end for this semester, but we are looking forward to having another class this fall. Those interested in an intense study of God’s Word, which includes workbook assignments and two hours of weekly “study together” time should call Pastor Joane at 983-4240 or 648-4622 to get signed up so materials can be ordered.
Friday Night Youth (FNY) continues each Friday from 7-10 p.m. There is always fun, food, and great fellowship, plus a time for interaction with the leaders. Everyone is welcomed. Remember, there will be no FNY on the first Friday of each month to allow our workers to renew.
Fisherman’s Chapel is an interdenominational congregation which meets each Sunday at 10:00 a.m. for Bible Study; 11:00 a.m. for Morning Worship; and 6:00 p.m. for a special evening with the Word. We also meet on Wednesdays at 7:00 p.m. with a great “mid-week fill-me-up service” and have many special activities. You will always find a warm welcome at the Chapel and are urged to, “Come, grow with us!”
