Pastor Joane is home! After a 12 day mission’s trip to Bali to work with Doug and Kimberly Bennett, I picked her up at the Houston airport after a 37 hour trip (including layovers). She was extremely exhausted, but was excited to give all of you her report on Sunday, Sept. 13. It is amazing what the Lord can do with those who will truly give themselves to Him!
Captain Robert had another successful Sea Academy class and we are looking forward to expanding the opportunities we offer for the citizens of this area. We are looking at not only doing the Captain Classes, but also some first aid, maybe some GPS, and hopefully some boater safety classes during 2019. Be looking for the announcements concerning these interesting events.
The Port O’Connor Community Benevolence Committee has begun their work to secure donations for this year’s Thanksgiving and Christmas Baskets. Names are already being gathered of needy families, donation requests have been sent, and people are beginning to respond with generous donations. Our Women’s Service Club has partnered with us again to help us purchase the turkeys by providing their generous donations. A lady attended a special conference and won a $500 gift card for HEB and she donated it to the Fund. We are trusting that there will be many interested persons who will give liberally so the needs can be fully funded. The Chapel only serves as the distribution agency and we sincerely appreciate all the people from this community who make it happen with their giving.
The Community Thanksgiving Service will be held on Sunday, Novemeber 11, 2018, at 6:00 p.m. at Fisherman’s Chapel. Pastor Donnie Martin of First Baptist will deliver the message. The Chapel will be providing a time of fellowship following the service. A special offering will be received that evening to purchase items for our Thanksgiving and Christmas Baskets. We are trusting that everyone will come prepared to give generously!
Thanksgiving Baskets will be distributed on Tuesday, November 20. Anyone in need should contact the Chapel between November 7 and the Community Service on November 11. Please remember, we seek to serve the NEEDY and not the GREEDY! We try not to turn anyone down, but we can only give what has been provided by he community.
Everyone must remember that on Sunday morning, November 4, our clocks will change back. All who forget will still be welcomed at the Chapel and the coffee will be ready! Set your clock back one hour and be at the church!
Fisherman’s Chapel is an interdenominational congregation whose goal is simple – allow Jesus’ love to flow from us to those around us. One will always find a warm welcome at the Chapel and all are urged to, “Come, grow with us!”
