Our regular tithes and offerings totaled $1048.86 last week   (doesn’t include on-line offerings).This DOES include $400 from the state of Texas “Unclaimed Accounts.â€Â Â We discovered two long-lost accounts in our church’s name from 2007 and 2017 were on the state’s unclaimed accounts website.  The application process took months due to cutbacks in the state’s work force due to Covid-19.  However, we are thankful for extra blessings!
