Do you know a recent high school graduate or young adult living in the San Antonio area who is struggling to connect with a faith community? Forest Hills Presbyterian Church is launching a new initiative this fall to explore spirituality through various thematic weekend camping trips. All costs have been paid for through the 787 Collective, an effort of Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary to connect with the growing number of religious “none’s” across in the Austin/San Antonio area. If you or someone you know is interested in joining the project, or if you have any other questions, please contact Rev. Reuben Lashley at

Kluber joined Mission Presbytery as a Honorably Retired pastor in 1995 and served for a while as a parish associate at First, Kerrville. A private family service is being planned for a later date. Our prayers are with the family and friends of Rev. Kluber.
