REVIVAL THOUGHTS |
Some churches in England have created a special "Back to Church" Sunday, inviting "lapsed" attenders to come back and reconsider commitment. Over 20 churches in the London area have adopted the event as a regular part of their calendar year.
The theme of our 2013 presbytery meetings
is "Revival." In keeping with that theme,
Tuesday Connect is running "Revival Thoughts"
on a weekly basis. |

A special occasion!
On Sun., Apr. 14, Community of the Servant-Savior Presbyterian, Houston, will celebrate the completion of their new church building and their new beginning, as they journey on together in Christ. It has been 3 years since a fire devastated the entire church facilities, and rebuilding has been a long and laborious process. But through it all, the congregation feels most blessed with the emergence of a new church home which speaks so clearly of God's beauty, grace, and love.
You are invited to join in this happy celebration - beginning with a special worship service and dedication at 10:30 a.m. and later a "grand opening" to all the community from 3:00-5:00 p.m. (recognitions and appreciations at 3:30 p.m.). Website |
