THE WEAPON OF GRATITUDE
Join us as we conclude our Marriage by Design series. This Sunday we will look at how over time, husbands and wives can begin noticing what is wrong while overlooking the good that is still right in front of them. We will look at how gratitude can change what we see, guard what is happening within our hearts, and strengthen our marriages, and literally re-wire our brains. This is a message you will not want to miss.
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

Ladies Fall Bible Study: Hebrews
Ladies, we’d love for you to join us this fall as we spend seven weeks walking through the book of Hebrews together. This will be a great opportunity to slow down, dig into God’s Word, build deeper relationships with other women, and be reminded of just how near Jesus is in every season of life. Whether you’ve been part of our Bible studies before or this would be your first one, there’s a place for you!
You can sign up here or on our App.

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.
