his Sunday, May 27, the church will be observing a time of Reading of the Names. Reading of the Names is a solemn time in which fallen service members from Texas will be remembered and honored. A member of the congregation will hold the name of a fallen member and exit the sanctuary once their name is read. The Reading of the Names visibly brings to light the sacrifices of our service members. Due to the holiday weekend, worship services will only be held at 8:30 and 10:30. The Reading of the Names will be observed during the 10:30 service only. All services will be in the sanctuary. Children and Youth Sunday School classes will not be meeting on this day. Adult Sunday School Classes are optional. Casual dress is recommended for those attending the 10:30 service, since we will be having a picnic lunch.
The church-wide picnic will be held after the 10:30 service. Hamburgers and hotdogs will be provided. If your last name begins with A-P, please bring a side dish. If your last name begins with Q-Z, please bring a dessert.
