P.O.C. is the best place to live – it has toughtful people – it provides true friendships – it supports each other – it demonstrates Godly love through its multifaceted culture – and it also has great fishing and hunting! During this time of mourning the passing of Dad, I have found that those who live in Port O’Connor are there for you no matter what you are facing and/or feeling. Thank you sounds so trite, but it the best I can say – “Thank you!” There have been flowers, cards, phone calls, but what has meant the most are the many prayers that have filled Heaven’s skies! While Joane and I were away, you cared for “Papaw” with friendship, fellowship and food – he especially liked the food. (He greatly dislikes cooking for himself!) You watched over the parsonage and supported the Chapel and the other ministries that came to our aid. It is my sincere prayer that the Lord allows me to remain in Port O’Connor until He comes for me in the clouds of Glory or I find my place in the local cemetery. Thank you for loving me and my family!
While I was away, we appreciated those who filled the Chapel pulpit: George and Linda Kutach; Jessie and Angie Alderete; Joane McDonough; and Patrick Overton. Julian Garcia helped fill in with his musical talent. Many of the Chapel congregation helped in the other areas of ministry that needed assistance. Thank you!
Now, we are operating on “full-steam ahead”! We had great services this past weekend with several guests and are looking forward to ministering this coming weekend. At the close of Sunday evening’s service, which begins at 6:00 p.m., we will be going to the front beach to baptize those who desire to follow the Lord’s example of Water Baptism. You are invited to attend.
Friday Night Youth is going strong with great fun, good fellowship, and awesome food. All the youth from the area are invited to attend. It is each Friday, except the first Friday of each month, during the hours of 7:00 and 10:00 p.m. Parents are always welcomed and those wishing to help with food, please just bring it on by!
Fisherman’s Bible Institute (FBI) is about to begin. The Reverend Joane McDonough serves as the primary instructor for these classes. There are workbooks to complete each week in preparation for a weekly two-hour classroom experience. We ask for a $25 donation for those seeking to attend to help pay for the workbooks. This is for serious students who desire to better know God through His Word. For additional information or to sign up, please call Joane at 983-2619.
Fisherman’s Chapel is an interdenominational congregation who seeks to help friends successfully walk from here to eternity. The Lord has provided us the directions, and we are learning together how to follow them! You will always find a warm welcome at the Chapel, and are urged to, “Come, grow with us”!
