Stated Clerk's Notes

During a fire alarm at a Holiday Inn Express in Del Rio this past Sunday, a chance encounter in a stairwell between two Presbyterian leaders—Mary Orr from Island Presbyterian Church in Corpus Christi, and Laurie, attending Maria Vargas’s last Sunday at FPC, Del Rio—sparked laughter and reflection.

As preparations continue for the upcoming presbytery meeting in Boerne, Laurie encourages us to remain prayerful, supportive, and ready to welcome newcomers with joy, trusting God to lead the way forward.

Chaplains Needed in June at JKR

Chaplains needed June 9-13 and June 18-20

The rest of the time you can join resident camp activities, rest and relax, take day trips into Wimberley and the surrounding area, write all of next year's sermons, or all of the above. Meals and lodging are included. Curriculum is provided based on the summer camp theme, to which you will bring your own gifts, talents, ideas, and interpretation.
