Because Presbyterians get messy for worship

On World Communion Sunday, kids at Shepherd of the Hills Presbyterian Church in Austin got hands-on learning about the meaning of communion and made the bread they shared together during a worship service.

Retirement Blessings for Laurie

Laurie Palmer is retiring at the end of this year, and next week's meeting will be her last Presbytery meeting with us! Please join us in celebrating her service and wishing her well as she begins this new chapter.

We invite you to send Laurie a card with a favorite memory, a word of thanks, or a retirement blessing. Please bring your cards to the meeting and look for the basket, or mail them to:

Mission Presbytery

c/o Melody Gonzalez-LP

7201 Broadway, Ste 303

San Antonio, TX 78209

Cards are warmly encouraged! In lieu of gifts or monetary contributions to Laurie, she has requested that donations be made directly to local food pantries—a meaningful way to honor her while caring for our neighbors.



Thank you for helping us surround Laurie with appreciation and warm wishes!

This week, we are praying for Trinity University in San Antonio. Please join us in prayer for the students, faculty, and staff who make up Trinity's community.
