Greetings to all in the name of the risen Christ,

I want to share an important update from Under the Bridge Ministries in Fort Worth. They are currently in urgent need of the following items:

• Men’s clothing (especially shorts)
• New underwear and socks
• Men’s shoes, size 12 and up

There are also a few children now attending the Sunday gatherings. A small, easy-to-carry toy would bring them so much joy. For now, please hold on to any winter clothing, as this ministry has no storage space, and our church storage is also limited.

If you’re able to help or if you have specific donations for this ministry, please speak with Ronnie Sullivan. Your generosity always makes a difference.

In other news, a neighborhood choir has reached out about hosting an Eastside Community Assistance benefit concert. I’ve tentatively agreed, pending approval from Pastor Max, and I’m hoping to schedule it for a Saturday night in July or August. Stay tuned for more details.

I pray you’ve spent this week speaking kindly to yourself. Life is too short to be unkind to others or yourself. This Sunday, we’ll wrap up our Words Matter series by looking at how we speak to God.

May peace and blessings be with you—and a whole lot of shade! Please stay hydrated and take care in this summer heat.

With love,

Mary
