What an awesome Lord we serve! He just keeps looking for opportunities to bring showers of blessings upon us and we like it! We concluded the month of March with a great All Church Fellowship, which featured an “indoor picnic”. It was a lot of fun and great fellowship. Brother Jessie and I teamed up to bring the devotional, he in Spanish and I in English.
Joane and the ladies returned from El Campo where Joane spoke at a Women’s Retreat. It was well attended and the ladies returned with reports of victories in their individual lives. We are searching for a date where we can host a similar event here in Port O’Connor. Be looking for the announcement!
On Saturday, April 2, Patrick Overton and I left Port O’Connor at 4:00 a.m. and went to Fort Worth for the funeral of one of his friends. It was a very sweet memorial service with a lot of people in attendance. She was a faithful servant of the Lord, and the celebration of her home going was a fitting tribute to a life lived for Jesus. While in the Metro-Plex, we went by the Dallas V.A. Hospital and I got to visit with my kid brother. He suffers from Parkinson’s, but was alert long enough for us to have some quality time together. Thank you for keeping him and his family in prayer.
Friday Night Youth is going strong, and we are appreciative of the extra workers that are coming to help. It is normal for 35 – 45 kids to show up on Friday night about 7:00 p.m., and most of them are hungry. We are never quite sure of the menu, but there is always a lot of food gone before the evening ends at 10:00 p.m. Everyone is invited to attend.
We conducted a funeral for Shelly Holder on April 5. The Holders were from Seadrift, but Shelly was living in Rosenberg. Our hearts go out to this fine family who have had to bury two grandsons, and now a son, in the past two years. Please keep them in your prayers.
There is a new Bible Study that will be starting about the first Thursday of May in which the topic will be from the book titled, Search for Significance.

Fisherman’s Chapel is an interdenominational congregation whose goal is to reach this community for Jesus. We believe that there is only one way to God and that is through His Son. You will always find a warm welcome at the Chapel, and are urged to, “Come, grow with us!”
