Thank You for Serving
The Missions Committee would like to thank everyone who participated in the 3rd annual Serve Our Neighbor Day on Saturday, September 27, including those who signed up to participate in one of five different projects and those who prepared a “light” breakfast for us! We’ll continue in 2026 with an even bigger and better event, expanding our outreach efforts into the community. Plan to join us!
Fall Festival Ways You Can Help

Also, if anyone would like to donate to the festival or be a sponsor, paperwork is available in the church office. We are most grateful for your help!

Good News!
As of September 30, 2025, the church has used proceeds received from the Capital Campaign to pay down the outstanding debt by $341,331.
This amounts to a reduction in operating expenses of $32,853/year!
Total pledges to the three-year campaign now stand at $991,438. The Capital Campaign Committee would like to thank all those who have com mitted to this worthy cause of reducing our debt and have made its success a reality. Your generosity has greatly relieved the strain on our operating budget and will make it possible for our church to broaden its mission in the future.
It is not too late to participate. While the “official” pledge period is over, you can still pledge. If you are not comfortable with a three-year commitment, we ask you to prayerfully consider a one-time donation. Every dollar you give goes directly to reducing our indebtedness.
Finally, please continue to pray for the continued success of this effort and our church. Blessings, Capital Campaign Committee

Christmas Boxes for the International Seafarer's Center
Port of Houston
For many years Presbyterian Women of our church, with the help of our entire congregation, have packed 100 shoe boxes a year with non-perishable items (such as hygiene supplies, socks, caps, and Texas souvenirs) and delivered them to the Port of Houston for distribution to ships that come in from mid November through December.
This is a Christmas project for faith communities in the Houston area, and thousands of seafarers are reached in this way. It is an important opportunity to offer a gesture of “hospitality” to some of those who serve us all year long. If you would like to help with monetary support for this project, please make a donation through the church, marked clearly for the “Seafarer’s boxes.”
Our shopping is now in progress and will continue during through October, in order to meet a November 6 packing date. Our boxes will be dedicated in Worship November 9 and delivered to the Seafarers’ Center the following week.
If you have questions or need more information about this opportunity, please call the church office (936) 756- 8884 or Liz Kessler (713) 818-1006. Thanks to the generosity of the Friday Men’s Breakfast Group, boxes can be purchased this year, so no donated shoe boxes are needed.
