The Church Pastor Search Committee has been busy reviewing the resumes received from those interested in becoming our pastor. The men of the Church meet every Tuesday morning at 7:30 a.m. to pray for the Search Committee and for the Church while they enjoy having coffee together in Fellowship Hall.

Gospel music by quartets, solos, duets and congregational singing is held each day. Three great meals a day with snacks in between are enjoyed by all. Outstanding preaching, Bible study and devotions are presented by outstanding men. Bro. George Yarbrough directs all activities each day and there is ample time for games like cards and dominoes. Camp Zephyr is in Sandia, Texas on the banks of Lake Corpus Christi and the camp motel rooms are on the lake.
