"Enough: God's Abundance"

Rev. Victor Harris

John 21:1-17

Online Worship and Bulletins

The Rev. Victor Harris recently joined Presbytery of New Covenant, transferring his membership from Presbytery of Chicago. He is, however, an eighth-generation Houstonian, and it was within this Presbytery that he was baptized and first came to faith. He attended Princeton Theological Seminary. Since ordination in 2013, he has served in two ministerial roles. First, as the Solo Pastor of Heritage PC in Carol Stream, IL. Second, as a Director at Prayers of the People in Houston. He and his wife have been married 20 adventurous years! They are currently outnumbered at home by three wonderfully misbehaving dogs.

If you’d like to write a brief devotional to be included in this year’s guide, please let Andy know, and he will help guide you to a scripture if needed. The deadline for submission is this week!

Mark your calendar for our next Brown Bag book club meeting on January 13, 2027, when we will discuss the book, Grandma Gatewood’s Walk, by Ben Montgomery. This biography is about the remarkable life of Emma Gatewood who, at 67 years old, became the first woman to hike the 2,050-mile Appalachian Trail completely alone.
