November 2024 Newsletter

Dear Beloved Members, Pastors, and Supporters,

As I reflect on our first ten months together in this role as your director, along with the countless hours spent praying, planning, and driving, I find there is so much to be thankful for.

As we enter November, it is natural to turn our thoughts toward Thanksgiving and the blessings we have received over the past year. This season invites us to slow down, reflect, and recognize the incredible ways God has worked within our lives and churches. At the Corpus Christi Baptist Association (CCBA), we are filled with gratitude for the faith, resilience, and commitment that each of you, our member churches, have shown as you serve faithfully and lead with compassion.

This year, God has expanded our mission focus through new and renewed partnerships. We are thrilled to see our priority teams expanded and making a tangible difference. Whether supporting local outreach, guiding new church plants, or helping our existing churches flourish in leadership and health, these teams are dedicated to empowering our churches to share Christ’s love with even greater reach and impact.

In addition to the work within our priority teams, we are grateful for each of you—for your prayers, partnership, and commitment to the vision of building a stronger, united Body of Christ. Your support, dedication, and passion for Jesus enable us to advance His Kingdom in ways that would not be possible alone.

This Thanksgiving, let’s continue to give thanks together, celebrating what God has done, and looking forward to the wonderful plans He has for our future. We still have much work to do. May each of you feel the fullness of His blessings as we walk this journey together.

Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.

                                                                                      Ephesians 3:20-21

Blessings,
