Last year our Silver Seniors Study was a great success! We will have it again this summer on June 8, 9, and 10th from 10:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. Our study this year will be “Animal Crackers” from the Heifer Project International. We will look at how gifts of animals can change struggling communities for the better. If you frequent a Senior Center, a Library, or any place where seniors recreate be sure to take and post some fliers. We may even look at bussing people from the local seniors centers! There will be worship, study, crafts, free lunch, and games! All seniors are welcome! An offering will be taken to benefit Heifer International.
If you want to volunteer, watch for our next planning meeting coming soon! We will need story tellers, craft helpers, Bingo callers. You can also help by providing supplies for lunch or Bingo prizes.

We are having the service at 2:00 p.m. so that no one will have to drive after dark. Houston is one of the biggest ports in the world, with ships coming and going every day. Some of the seafarers on these ships may not get home for years at a time. That makes it especially important for us to extend a great Texas...Houston...Presbyterian...Woodforest Welcome to those who spend Christmas in our Port. Each year, we prepare shoeboxes for these seafarers, and help is needed. There are many ways to participate - donating items, stuffing boxes and wrapping the parcels.

This year, the Presbyterian Women's group will be studying "Finding Resilience, Joy, and Our Identity in Jesus Christ" by Rhashell D. Hunter. Study books are available in the pastor's office for $10.00 each.
Classes will be held on the second Wednesday of the month at 10:30 am, and you may attend virtually or in person. A potluck lunch will follow at noon. All women are invited! On June 5, 2022, we will celebrate Pentecost.
Pentecost marks the point at which Jesus' disciples came out of hiding and -- filled with the Holy Spirit -- began teaching and preaching in His name. In some ways, that first Pentecost can be considered the birthday of the Christian church. The altar (and the congregation!) are dressed in the color red, symbolizing joy and the fire of the Holy Spirit. As part of our Pentecost worship, we will collect the Pentecost Offering, a special donation which is dedicated to nurturing the faith of children, youth, and young adults. These gift boxes are ready for delivery to the visiting seamen at Houston's International Seafarers Centers.
We will have a Congregational Meeting following worship services on December 12, 2021. The purpose of this meeting is to elect a elders for the Class of 2024. A church members may vote, either in-person on Facebook Live.
