What a great year we have already experienced. We recently hosted a Kid’s Retreat with over 50 kids and 50 plus workers coming here to experience the touch of the Lord in their lives. We witnessed at least seven children asking Jesus into their hearts. It was great! There is no way to mention all the many people who gave so much of their time, talent, and treasure to see these kids have an experience that they will never forget!

In our Spanish Services on Tuesday evenings, at 6:00 p.m.,. we recently witnessed an adult asking Jesus into their life. This is what the Chapel is all about – helping people find Jesus as their personal Savior and Lord. To this end, we do everything!

We continue seeing great things being planned for the Lord. Men from Port O’Connor are welcoming other men to come for a time of fishing and breakfast. The breakfast will take place at the Chapel on March 19 at 9:00 a.m. All area men are welcomed to attend. On Palm Sunday, March 20, we will celebrate Communion in the morning service and will host a “movie night” at 6:00 p.m. Everyone is welcomed at all our activities. Those who come to movie night will be greeted with a bag of popcorn and a bottle of water. We will be showing “War Room.” It will be a great family time, so bring all the family and enjoy this special movie experience.

Easter Sunday, March 27, will begin with our annual Community Sunrise Service. It will begin at 7:00 a.m. and will feature music of the First Baptist Choir and I will be bringing the message. Of course, we will have some of Cathy’s famous cinnamon rolls with hot coffee. It will be a great time, so bring your favorite chair, maybe a warm blanket, and enjoy this special service.

Following the Sunrise Service, the Chapel will host our special Bible Study at 10:00 a.m., and a warm Morning Service at 11:00 a.m. The evening service will being at 5:00 p.m. with Corporate Prayer and the service at 6:00 p.m. It will be a great day of celebrating the resurrection of our Lord.
At the end of the month, we will be hosting a men’s group from Mauriceville, Texas for a retreat. Pastor Chad will be coming again with his men to have a few days of refreshing and hopefully catching.

Our local men are planning an outing at the farm on April 29 and 30. This is open to all men and their sons and will be a great time just to get away, relax, shoot some shotguns, and eat some delicious “chuck wagon style” meals.

Fisherman’s Chapel is an interdenominational congregation which endeavors to help bring us into a personal relationship with the Lord, Jesus Christ. One will always find a warm welcome here and everyone is urged to, “Come, grow with us!”
