For we hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law.
Romans 3:28
The treasure of the grace of God through faith in Jesus is not something easily believed. When grasped, the magnitude seems incomprehensible. Utterly fantastical. Beyond reason or understanding!
That is why it is lifted so high, taken so deep, and clenched so tightly!
May our lives be reformed because of this ecstatic truth!
The need for more blood donations is growing daily. Your blood donation is essential to keep the blood supply strong and steady. Without on-going donors, we cannot ensure people have the blood they need.
We’re asking you to come in and donate! The need is real. The need is now.
The Sealy Christian Pantry is preparing for Thanksgiving and will be giving each family a Thanksgiving Holiday Box!
Give in the jar at church or directly through Venmo.
Typically, we have asked for the local churches to help with canned goods for the boxes, but due to the increase in clients and supply chain issues at grocery stores, this year we are asking for financial support to help defray the costs of the goods in the boxes.
We have ordered canned yams and cranberry from Walmart and have also ordered turkeys and hams (which cost around $7,500).
If you would like to help, a donation jar will be at the back of the church through the holiday season. Anything and everything is appreciated!
Food insecurity is a terrible thing and we know that people in our community are struggling as we are now serving over 300 families weekly.
If you are blessed to be a blessing, we would greatly appreciate your support.
I have become all things to all people, that by all means I might save some.
