Easter Sunrise Service will be especially special this year, so please do not miss it! What is so special about this service? With the war in Ukraine this year, those who live there are not getting the opportunity to celebrate the Resurrection, but we have the freedom and safety to gather on the front beach at 7:00 a.m. and sing, “He Lives” and other great songs in praise to our Lord Who died for us, was buried for us, and arose for us! Jesus did it all for us! Join with others and let us lift our voices in praise for Jesus’ sacrificial death to pardon us from all unrighteousness! The First Baptist Choir will be singing, and retired Pastor Erny McDonough will be preaching. Cathy Osborn at Cathy’s has been feverously trying to get her ovens fixed in time to make her usual treat for Sunrise Service, but if the oven part does not make it on time, we will have to wait next year to enjoy her scrumptious cinnamon rolls! There will be plenty of coffee.
The McDonough family is preparing for the wedding of two granddaughters. Ariel will be marrying Hunter on Saturday, April 23 at Texanna. Her sister, Naomi, will be marrying Jordan in Ohio, but are planning to travel to Texas in honor of Ariel’s wedding. We will be exceptionally busy hosting these grand events and are sincerely praying for those two couples as they begin exciting journeys in their individual lives.
Pastor Erny has been traveling to Cuero to assist that church while their pastor is away on a family emergency. We have been having a good time leading this growing congregation. We are expecting to help them until after Easter Sunday.
Pastor Joane continues teaching through the Book of Acts each Sunday at 10:00 a.m. Everyone is invited to attend these special sessions and glean great information that will help in our Christian development. There is always hot coffee and a lot of interaction.
Pastor Erny is preaching through the Book of Nehemiah. There are so many parallels to today’s situations in this short Old Testament book. We have finished the first three Chapters and are continuing toward completion. These messages are available in printed form and any that are missed can be received at the Chapel.
Pastors Joane and Erny will be at the Annual Conference in San Antonio in early May. They will be spotlighted for their efforts here in Port O’Connor. Just over 27 years ago, they moved to this community and led in the founding of Fisherman’s Chapel. Not many ministers involve themselves in such ministry and there is an emphasis on Church Planting at this year’s Council Meeting. Please be praying as they attend.
Pastor Joane will be leading this service on Mother’s Day, Sunday, May 8. The activities will begin at 10:00 a.m. with Bible Study and she will be preaching in the morning service, which begins at 11:00 a.m. Each mother present will receive a gift designed with them in mind. Don’t miss this special event and be sure to bring your mother with you!
Fisherman’s Chapel is an interdenominational church whose goal is to help everyone reach Heaven as a result of their lives here on earth. We believe Heaven is being readied for those who truly want to go there, and our goal is to help each other learn how to accomplish that feat. We believe in growing one relationship at a time, and our arms are long enough to reach everyone in Port O’Connor. You are welcome and urged to, “Come, grow with us!”
