Make plans to join us after worship on Sunday, August 28th, for our End of Summer Bash! We will share a lunch of salads and dessert.
In conjunction with the Summer Bash on August 28th, we invite the congregation to make a cash donation to our next Mission effort, which will benefit clients of Cy Fair Helping Hands. CFHH works to help the homeless of Cy-Fair to become self-sufficient. We supported CFHH both this year and last with our Souper Bowl of Caring food drive. As we enjoy lunch with one another on the 28th, we’ll collect money to make sack lunches for some of our homeless neighbors. The sack lunches our committee makes – consisting of a turkey sandwich, chips, fruit, a drink, and dessert – will be distributed through CFHH’s Street Outreach Program. To support this Mission effort, please make a cash donation any time through August 28. Please be sure to indicate that your gift is for “sack lunches.“
With school starting back in most places around the Houston area, it’s time to consider the following:
- Slow down in school zones.
- Volunteer at a school if you have time.
- Consider donating to the various school supply drives that exist in all districts.
- Learn more about what is expected to be taught in schools – and especially how schools are working to close any learning gaps caused by the long Covid breaks.
It’s that time of the year again: our Nominating Committee begins its work on August 1st, with Elder Katie McMillen serving as this year’s chair. Each year the outgoing church officers and a few congregation members work together to find church members to serve as Session elders, Deacons, and to serve on next year’s Nominating Committee. This is important work; all presbyterian churches are run by the local Sessions.
All congregations elect their own church officers. If you are asked to serve, please prayerfully consider the request. We will need a new Worship elder, a new Christian Education elder, and one Deacon.
And don’t forget to pray for our Nominating Committee!
