The Children’s Camp at Palacios Baptist Encampment has been completed for the children in the 4th through 6th grades. Everyone had a wonderful time at the concerts, Bible study, games, swimming, eating, and just “hanging out”. Everyone returned home on Thursday, June 20.

The young people, grades 7 through 12, departed Port O’Connor on Monday, June 8 for “One Camp” at Camp Palicios. The group enjoyed five days of great enlightenment with nightly concerts, many Bible studies, swimming and boating, games, rest times and good food. Bro. Raymond Grant and Judy Wilson were the chaperones for this year’s group of young people.

This past Sunday, the Church celebrated the Church Ordinance of the “Lord’s Supper”. This solemn occasion was experienced by all the congregation. Everyone was reminded on I Corinthians 11: 23-29, which asks all to examine themselves before taking the bread and cup and recognizes they represent the body of the Lord. After the “Lord’s Supper” everyone joined in singing “Blest Be the Tie”, which reads, “Blest be the tie that binds our hearts in Christian love; the fellowship of kindred minds is like to that above.”

The Church is experiencing many new visitors as this Summer gets into full swing. Poco Bueno will be here this week and everyone enjoys the crowds and the excitement.

The annual “Fireworks” on the front beach was outstanding! Seems like each year they get better and better. Thanks to all those who donated money and worked in some way to produce this Great Show!

If anyone missed the great Bar-B-Q at the Fire Station…you should be ashamed, and you really missed some delicious food. We appreciate our Port O’Connor Volunteer Fire Department, and every dollar donated went to these great volunteers for their equipment and trucks.

Everyone is looking forward to other exciting summer events in Port O’Connor.

See you in church Sunday!
