Can you help? 9/13

Youth and adults who can stay and help... Tonya is recruiting for help taking down flags Wednesday night immediately following classes. Please stay and help if you can! 

Just be patient...

9/11 has been on everyone's minds this week.  I saw this on facebook and it made me think about how impatient we all can be.  We get angry with ourselves for having to take the time to re-do something or go back home to get something.  When all along, God had already planned for that to happen...just to save us.  Just to make me realize that I am "exactly where I'm meant to be at this very moment.".

A sermon in a sentence...

Prayer Request 9/13

Please pray for Randy Nations.  He had a stroke and was taken by ambulance to Medical City last night. He is in ICU. He is awake and moving and will have an MRI at 9. 

Congratulations!

Today, Trooper Tim Keele was honored with the Star of Texas Award by Governor Abbott at the state Capitol.
