It’s Christmas in Port O’Connor! We truly trust that it will NOT snow, but we will enjoy whatever the Lord brings our way! The Chapel is very busy at this season. Our children presented their Christmas Program on Sunday, December 16. Hermana Angie did a wonderful job of helping each child with their parts and everyone enjoyed this special activity.

Our annual All Church Christmas party will be held at 6:00 p.m. on December 23. Everyone should help provide a potluck dinner and all who wish to exchange “White Elephants” must provide one to share.

The Port O’Connor Benevolence Fund Committee distributed Christmas Food Baskets on Tuesday, December 18.

Christmas truly begins for us at the end of Thanksgiving, but this year it started a little bit earlier. I made a “flying” trip to Pennsylvania, rented a U-Haul, and drove the 1,700 miles back to Port O’Connor that week. It is such a joy to have our daughter Crystal and her children, Ariel, Ethan, and Lydia with us. I am the kind of dad that would like for their children to never leave home. In fact, I guess I am old fashion enough to remember when the kids stayed home and began to provide for their parents – that’s what I’m looking for!

Our ladies decorated the Chapel on November 29, and did their usually special best! The church looks so nice and reminds us that a festive time is upon us. Thanks so much ladies for your labor of love.

Our Chapel friend, Ric Gorden, came and ministered in song for us on December 2. It was a great time and Ric was truly anointed in his ministry. We will let you know when he is returning.

On December 9, our friend Pastor Donnie Knight was with us. His unique ministry was a great blessing to all who attended. We are sure that return engagement will be announced! We will let you know when he is returning.

Our ladies joined with many others at Grace in Port Lavaca on December 1 for a special Christmas Tea, complete with decorative hats! It was a great time with a lot of laughs.

Our men traveled to Wharton on Saturday, December 8, to help with church clean up from the effects of Harvey. The church there was heavily damaged and we helped to get the Sunday School area ready to be rebuilt. It was a great day of fellowship and accomplishments

Fisherman’s Chapel is an interdenominational congregation whose goal is to help all remember the reason for the season is Jesus! You will always find a warm welcome here and all are urged to, “Come, grow with us!”
