This summer has simply flown by so quickly that it is hard to imagine it is time for school to start again – but it is! We have seen the Lord do great things here at the Chapel with a lot of activities. Probably the highlights have been the people who have come to Retreat with us and the fishing tournaments in which we have helped. Not only have we helped with Poco Bueno, but also the Lone Star Shootout, a shark tournament, and another offshore contest. We have been putting the fish in the freezer to help make up for the shortage due to the cancellation of the offshore part of Poco. We have already sent enough fish to Houston to provide 550 meals and soon will be sending more. BUT, we could not do this great work if it were not for the tournament leaders and the generous fishermen who share their catches with us. Thanks!
At the Chapel, as with all Christian churches, we celebrate Easter every Sunday, in honor of Christ’s resurrection on the first day of the week. But, again this year, we celebrated Christmas on August 3rd. We had as a special guest Ric Gorden from Oklahoma, who again did an excellent job of lifting our spirits with his ministry in word and song. Someone said that Ric has some of the corniest jokes around, but that is what makes us all laugh! It is always an honor to have Ric come, but this year was extra special. If you missed our Christmas celebration this month, we will be having another one this year in December!
Our Bible Study on Tuesday evenings has been a great help to those who have been attending. “Breaking Free” is the topic, and we have received several reports from those participating that they have been greatly helped. You are welcome to attend any Tuesday. Classes begin at 7:00 p.m.
Do not forget to let the kids know that Friday Night Youth meets from 7:00 to 10:00 on Friday evenings. There are always a lot of friends to meet, food to eat, and fun to enjoy at the Chapel. We are planning a very special event soon, so be looking for the announcement. There will be special guests for this fun-filled Kids’ Crusade. Plans are still in the works – we will be letting you know!
Our ladies are gearing up for their annual Women’s Conference in Kerrville, September 11-13. All ladies are invited and for additional information, please call Pastor Joane at 983-2619. This is truly one of the bright spots in our ladies lives and you would be blessed by attending.
One will always find a warm welcome at the Chapel. We offer Bible Study classes at 10:00 a.m.; our Morning Service begins at 11:00 a.m.; and each Sunday evening we meet at 6:00 p.m. Recently we had homemade ice-cream following a Sunday evening service, so come and see what happens here! On Wednesday, we gather for a mid-week ‘pick-me-up” at 7:00 p.m. We would love to see you at the Chapel, and urge you to, “Come, grow with us!”
