Because Presbyterians dedicate and honor

On Sunday, Canyon Lake Presbyterian Church had the privilege of dedicating the building that houses the Canyon Lake Mental Health Clinic to the glory of God and in honor of Nancy Ney, whose vision and leadership helped bring the clinic into existence in 2017.

You Can't Pour From an Empty Cup

Rev. Bobby Musengwa

Transitional General Presbyter


This week some of us attended the Presbyterian Disaster Assistance's interactive training on emotional and spiritual resilience. It was absolutely wonderful and appropriate for such a time as this.


Ministry is hard right now.


Pastors are navigating conflict, grief, and exhaustion. Ruling elders are carrying congregations through uncertainty. Leaders across Mission Presbytery are showing up for everyone else, often without anyone asking, "How are YOU doing?"


That has to change.


Building Our Resilience

Presbyterian Disaster Assistance (PDA) is pleased to partner with Mission Presbytery in offering a 90- minute interactive program focused on building resilience in the midst of daily life stress.


In our time together, members of the PDA team will focus on increasing our understanding of signs of stress and sharing in-the-moment strategies to handle stress. Participants wil have the opportunity to share what works for them in staying centered and bouncing back in challenging times. 


We’ll offer strategies that focus on healing and resilience-building tools, including story telling, relaxation and self-care techniques, spiritual practices, and strengthening positive connections with others. Each participant will create a personalized self-care plan during our time together.

FPC/Rockport Learns about Mental Health Awareness Month

As the PCUSA has named the month of May, Mental Health Awareness Month, First Presbyterian Church of Rockport dedicates one Sunday of the month to mental health and addiction awareness.


Our congregation is reminded that while the state of Texas is the second wealthiest state in the Union according to GDP, we consistently rank dead last or near last in terms of mental health and addiction treatment access and dollars set aside for treatment. According to a study done by UT Houston, 71%-73% of Texas children have no access to mental health treatment. Far too many adults in Texas can only receive "treatment" in our ER's or jails. 


We were blessed to have Dr. Nacole Predum, newly hired Executive Director of ACCESS Counseling in Rockport bring us our message on Sunday, May 31st. With her leadership and guidance, and Kurt's involvement on their board of directors, we are bringing this awareness to the forefront of our church and community that we need to put more pressure on our elected officials, who are really the only ones who can address this problem on a large scale basis. We can't have health without mental health.
