HOUSTON MARATHON

The Houston Marathon is Sunday, January 19, and the route goes through our area. Please click here to learn about traffic closures that may affect your drive to church, especially if you live in the neighborhoods south of University. A sure bet is always 610 to 59 and exit Buffalo Speedway.

VISIT A SOFA MUSIC CLASS FOR ADULTS

Friday, January 17, 1-2pm will be a preview Ensemble Class for Adults. Some of you love music and wish you knew more about it. If so, this class is your chance. We will play drums, xylophones, simple percussion instruments, and introduce a little music reading. This low pressure class is designed so that both people who know nothing about music reading, and people who know a little, will find a bit of a challenge and have lots of music-making fun. 

Please consider joining us in Rm. 131, just behind the reception desk in the old school area.  Let Doris know if you are planning to come!

The Chili Cook Off is going back to its roots this year! The Family Ministry team invites you to sample chilis from different chili teams and vote with chili bucks for your favorite.

Students and parents, come and learn about what’s ahead for you as you approach the college journey. It’s an exciting time in your lives, but it doesn’t need to be daunting. It can be a rewarding season of self-discovery and anticipation. No matter where you are in the process, from just beginning to consider colleges to finalizing applications, it’s not too late to gain some insight.

Ann Montgomery, a seasoned college counselor with 23 years of experience working with students from all over Houston and beyond, will lay out the process and dispel myths in this free session .
