CONGREGATION UPDATE

Rector Search
We told you a couple of weeks ago that we had a candidate for rector and that talks with him have gone very well so far and we are ready for the next step, which is to schedule a visit for him and his wife. That visit has now been scheduled for Sunday, September 20. He will give the sermon at both services so be sure to be here or tune in online for that Sunday. You will receive more information about him at a future date. Please continue to pray for this process.

Christian Education classes for adults and children will resume at 10:00 a.m. on Sunday, September 13, 2020.

AUSTIN STREET MINISTRY

For September 30, the fifth Wednesday of the month, we will once again take food to the homeless at Austin Street in Dallas. Similar to July, it will be Lagsana, Chicken Alfredo, Salad and bread. Until the restrictions of Coved-19 virus are lifted, this is the routine. None of us will be allowed to go in and feed the clients, and that is upsetting, so we just need to pray that this virus will soon be eliminated and we can serve again.

Bless you all for any contribution you can make for this ministry. Remember to make out your checks to TAC and make a notation on the check it is for Austin Street. This way you will receive credit on your giving statement
