DEVOTED TO BECOMING
As we wrap up our yearly theme on Building A Legacy, we are going to ask one final question: What kind of people are we becoming? Acts 2 reminds us that following Jesus is not built on occasional moments of excitement, but on continually returning to His Word, His people, the gospel, and prayer. Because we become what we continually give ourselves to, and eventually, what we become is what we pass on. My prayer is that the legacy we leave behind will be far greater than our names. It will be Jesus.
Join us at Tompkins High School at 10:00 am. The link to watch LIVE is on our YouTube Channel. You can go to our home page on our website or our App to connect.
This week's order of worship can be found here!
God bless,
Pastor Scott

2ND GRADE BIBLE PRESENTATION
One of the great milestones in a child's spiritual journey is receiving their very own Bible. On August 16, we'll celebrate our 2nd and 3rd graders by presenting them with a Bible and praying that God's Word will guide, shape, and strengthen their faith for years to come.

KAIROS PRISON MINISTRY WEEKEND OPPORTUNITY
This fall, we have a powerful opportunity to share the love of Jesus in a place most people never see. In October, Kairos Prison Ministry will be hosting a 3‑day Kairos Retreat for the men at the Navasota Pack 12 Unit, and they’ve invited our church to help.
Kairos is a Christian ministry that goes inside prisons to lead spiritual retreats—three days of worship, teaching, listening, and showing God’s unconditional love. These weekends change lives. Many men encounter Christ in a real and personal way for the first time.
All men over the age of 20 are invited to volunteer to be part of the inside team. You don’t need special skills—just a willing heart. If God is stirring something in you, we’d love for you to learn more.
If you are interested, please reach out to Kevin Campbell, our Missions Coordinator at wkcampbell@gmail.com
Or you can learn more by going to: KairosTexas.org or KairosPrisonMinistry.org.
Let’s be a church that brings hope where it’s needed most.
