“To God be the Glory – Great Things He has Done.” This beautiful weather makes you tell God “how much you appreciate living in Port O’Connor”. Fresh mowed lawns, children playing in the water, people launching their boats, cleaning fish, and the smell of steaks cooking from backyard cookers – What a wonderful place to live – Vacation every day!
People packed the church last Sunday, the first Sunday in April. In the absence of Brother Raymond Grant, I led the congregational music. Brother Raymond was attending a reunion at one of the churches he previously served. The congregation sang “To God Be the Glory”, “At Calvary”, “Tell Me the Story of Jesus” and “Oh, How I Love Jesus”. Leah Griffin sang the special music, “Because He Lives” and it was beautifully done.
Brother Marcos Gohlke preached a very inspirational sermon, “No Cross – No Power” from Mark 8: 34 to 37. Yes, it was a very soul searching and inspirational Sunday morning worship service.
Candice Stryker is planning a Big Easter Egg Hunt for all the Port O’Connor children and their guests. The fun will start Saturday, April 23, at 2:00 p.m. The eggs will be “hidden”? in special places according to the ages of the children. Parents will assist their small children and everyone is guaranteed a fun filled “hunt”. There will be prizes for some “special” eggs and all will enjoy refreshments after the hunt.
Port Lavaca First Baptist Church is having an Easter Musical/Drama on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, April 14, 15, 16 at their church at 7:00 p.m. each night. There is no charge, but tickets are required and available at the church office. You may call 552-2931 to reserve your tickets.
Make your plans to attend the Port O’Connor Annual “Easter Sunrise Service” on Easter Sunday morning at 7:00 a.m. on King Fisher Beach at the pavilion. Brother Marcos Gohlke, pastor of First Baptist, will deliver the Easter message and Brother Erny McDonough, pastor of Fisherman’s Chapel, will read the Scripture. Our choir will sing and there will be congregational songs led by Brother Raymond Grant. Cathy’s Restaurant will again have coffee and hot rolls for those attending the service. Be sure to bring a chair and a jacket.
See you in church Sunday!
