WILEY COLLEGE OFFERING

    Wow! We set a goal of raising $10,000 to go toward an endowment fund at Wiley University in Marshal, Texas. To date we have collected $12,872.09. I don’t know what to say except, wow!

   If you were wanting to contribute but have not yet, there is still time. (A) You can give through the church website (go to the short term mission tab under giving) or (B) you can drop a check in the offering plate this Sunday (make the check out to Seabrook UMC and write “Wiley” in the memo). We will be sending in the completed donation next week.

    Wow! And thank you for your generosity!

Pax,

Rev. Chuck Weber

VENEZUELA EARTHQUAKE RELIEF

If you would like to contribute to relief for the victims of the Venezuela earthquakes, you can give through the church. (A) You can give through the church website (go to the short term mission tab under giving) or (B) drop a check in the offering plate on Sunday morning (make the check payable to Seabrook UMC and write “Venezuela” in the memo).

SUNDAYS BY THE BAY

    July is nearly upon us. You know what that means. It means Sundays By The Bay.

    Sundays By The Bay began in the mid 1980s. It was a time when the congregation would, to avoid the summer heat, abandon fancy church clothes for comfortable clothes.

    Over the years Sundays By The Bay has evolved. July became a time for a special sermon series. Or people in the congregation sharing their faith stories. Or visiting speakers.

    This year we will have speakers sharing with us the mission of the different organizations to which they belong.

    On Sunday, July 5, Tiye McKethen from Bridge Over Troubled Waters will be with us. We provide groceries and cookies to residents of the Bridge. This will be an opportunity to learn more about the mission of the Bridge.

    On Sunday, July 12, Joe Miller will be with us. Joe is a retired United Methodist pastor who came out of the Seabrook congregation. He has a food assist program in east Texas. How great it would be if we learned something that would spark some thought on how we can partner with the food assist program!

    On Sunday, July 19, David Bridges from Family Promise will be with us. Family Promise is an organization that directly works with folks facing housing insecurity. David has been with us before and always does a great job.

    On Sunday, July 26, Steve Smith from Zoe Empowers will be with us. Zoe Empowers empowers orphaned children and vulnerable children in Africa and Asia overcome severe poverty. This Sunday is bluegrass Sunday, so bring your country twang for singing. Following worship there will be a luncheon.

    The not-so-good news is, life is filled with different kinds of challenges. The Good News is, God cares about those facing challenges. The good news is, there are all kinds of persons and organizations helping the vulnerable meet those challenges. We are fortunate to have some of those persons with us during Sundays By The Bay.

YOUTH ACTIVITIES FOR JULY

Adult Bible Study with Bill

The scripture for next week is Acts 5:17-42. Our purpose in this lesson is to examine the apostles’ bold faith in overcoming life’s obstacles. 


This class is based on the Cokesbury Adult Bible Studies series, copies of which are provided without cost. I share my own insights and often cover different material than what's in the book. However, you may gain further insights into the lesson if you have the book. I welcome open discussion in our classes.

Southeast District Prayer Focus for June 29 - July 5, 2026

Crosby United Methodist Church

Crosby United Methodist Church is a welcoming congregation on the eastern edge of the Houston area seeking to make disciples of Jesus Christ by building supportive relationships with God, one another, and our community. We are grateful for our rich heritage while embracing the opportunities God is placing before us today. Through worship, children and youth ministries, our Weekday School, pickleball ministry, community partnerships, and service to our neighbors, we desire to share Christ’s love in practical ways and invite people into a growing relationship with Jesus.

Prayer Focus:

• Please pray that Crosby UMC will continue to grow as a congregation that is deeply rooted in Christ and joyfully engaged in our community. Pray that God will give us wisdom to recognize where the Holy Spirit is leading, courage to embrace new opportunities for ministry, and hearts that warmly welcome every person who comes through our doors. We especially ask for prayers that our congregation will be faithful in serving others, sharing the hope of Christ, and becoming a light of God’s grace throughout Crosby and beyond.
