Because Presbyterians celebrate their heritage!

A night full of culture, tradition, and PanAm spirit!

Pan American School students celebrated the beginning of Hispanic Heritage Month with a special Mexican Night, bringing the community together to enjoy the traditions and culture that make us who we are.

This week, join us in prayer for the members, staff, and clergy of Covenant Presbyterian Church, Austin; First Presbyterian Church, Rockport; Grace Presbyterian Church, Victoria; Leander Presbyterian Church, Leander; and New Hope Presbyterian Church, La Feria.

The Presbytery office is aware of a scam circulating that pretends to be from our Transitional General Presbytery, Rev. Bobby Musengwa. This email asks the recipient to purchase gift cards on his behalf and to keep it a secret. Please remember that the Presbytery staff will never email you directly asking you to purchase gift cards on their behalf. Be especially wary of communications that urge you to act quickly or to do something in secret.

Please share this information with your congregation members and remind everyone to stay vigilant when dealing with digital communications.

University/San Antonio to Host Sacred Ground Video Discussion Group

Sacred Ground is a video- and readings -based dialogue series on race, grounded in faith. The 11-part series, revised in 2026, is built around a powerful online curriculum of documentary videos and readings that focus on Indigenous, Black, Latino, and Asian/Pacific American histories as they intersect with European American histories. Small group members complete readings and watch videos prior to each meeting. There, they discuss the assignments confidentially in light of their personal experiences, including family stories, economic class, and political and regional identities.

UPC’s next group will start in October. For more on this learning opportunity, contact Doug Posey at dpposey@earthlink.net or Carla Monroe-Posey at cmonroeposey@earthlink.net.

Mark your calendars for Holy Smoke on October 11 at Covenant Presbyterian Church in San Antonio. This is the sole fundraiser to help sponsor a house for the Spring build 2027. The cost of building a home has increased by more than 50% since Covid. However, we remain committed to providing affordable housing for deserving families. 

We will have some wonderful items available in the silent auction.

If you need tickets delivered to your church, wish to provide food, an auction donation, or want additional information, please contact Nancy Hester at nhestertx@gmail.com or 210-867-6736.
