Greetings to all of you! I thank God every time I think of you and of our wonderful church. I am grateful for your prayers and encouragement as my family works through some of life’s challenges. Thank you for respecting our privacy and for understanding the time required for me to be away from church. I do watch the services, whether live-streamed or recorded, and I love to hear you singing and worshiping. I am very much enjoying the new sound and video system—it is good to see all of you on the big screen, looking engaged and blessed by God. I am very glad to be back with you this Sunday.

We have a busy fall schedule! Choir practice begins very soon. The first rehearsal will be on September 21, 2025, at 9:45 a.m. Thanks to the new sound system, I have clearly heard some of your voices, and I know there are many of you who should be singing in the choir with us.

Our upcoming concerts include:

• September 20 at 6 p.m. – MSB Gospel Choir from Denton. Tickets are still on sale in the church office and on the church website.
• October 25 at 6 p.m. – All Peoples Church Choir performing Lazarus. This concert is free, and all proceeds will go to Eastside Community Assistance.
• November 23 – Thanksgiving meal (more details coming soon).
• December 5 at 6 p.m. – Western Hills Ensemble Choir, led by Blake Glass. All proceeds will support the Western Hills Choir’s 2026 competition expenses.

Meals will be served after every concert. We will announce what kind of food contributions are needed in advance.

My love to all,

Mary
