Some typical stuff there.
But with those greetings come some closing exhortations that are important: “Continue steadfast in prayer…Walk in wisdom…Let your speech be gracious.”
Be careful that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deceit based on human tradition, based on the elements of the world, rather than Christ.
Colossians 2:8 (CSB)
Pray, walk, and talk.
He has preached the Good News to them, countering heresies and false teachers and philosophies. He has addressed these people – who he did not know – in a fatherly, pastoral way on the full divinity of Jesus (and why that is essential). He has shared that they are dead to sin and alive in Jesus. He has has reminded them to set their “minds on things that are above, not on things that are on the earth.” He has given them practical reasons to deal with all relationships in love, honor and respect, as serving the Lord.
And now it is time to close his letter with “pray, walk, and talk” like the redeemed people they are. A loving reminder to both “walk the walk” and “talk the talk” as a praying Christian.
As we conclude our journey through this beautiful book of the Gospel, may we see Jesus in and through every page. For everyone. Forever.
So we pray, in Jesus. We walk, in the wisdom of Jesus. We talk with the graciousness of Jesus.
Jesus.
Always.
For everyone.
Forever.

Sue Kristynik presented an update on pantry activities. In 2023, the pantry transitioned from drive through distribution to in person check-in and qualification. In 2024, the pantry extended hours, operating from 10:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. every Wednesday. An appointment system was also implemented for food pick up. This was done to manage the traffic in the parking lot. The pantry is on pace to feed over 12,000 families in 2024 compared to 8,000 in 2023. They are averaging 225-250 families per week. We will surpass over 1 million pounds of food distributed in 2024. The pantry’s partnership with the Houston Food Bank continues to grow. This summer, the pantry was selected to pilot a non-congregate feeding program which offered 5 breakfast/5 lunch/5 snacks to kids in the area. School supplies were also given to the kids as part of this program. Karing 4 Kids have filled the closets at each of the school campuses with emergency food for hungry kids. Deliveries are being made to Silver Lakes and the Oaks. 2024 marks the year that our dream of a new pantry building has become a reality. We broke ground in 2023. The end of November is the target for the site to be complete. The plan is to use December to ready the new site so we can be operational beginning on January 8.
The office remodel is complete. There was $27,856 in designated funds and $10,760 was received in addition to the designated funds for a total of $38,616. The rummage sale proceeds were $4,141. Various items were purchased with these proceeds: work table in the kitchen, shelves, 2 utility carts, desks, table truck, chair truck, additional tables and chairs, sofa tables, etc. Mary presented the YTD Statement (attached). Quarterly Giving was reviewed (attached). The 2025 budget was presented (attached). Vic Grisbee asked for a motion to accept the 2025 budget as presented. Pastor Dale Leland made a motion to accept the 2025 budget as presented. Second by Sieg Leland. Vic Grisbee asked if there were any further questions. There were none. Motion passed.

The book of Colossians is a book from St. Paul where he addresses an important issue at a congregation where he wasn’t the founding missionary (a man named Epaphras was). He likely wrote this book around 60 AD when he was in Ephesus. Epaphras was troubled by what was happening in his congregation and shared it with Paul. This letter is Paul writing to address the situation.
Be careful that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deceit based on human tradition, based on the elements of the world, rather than Christ.
Colossians 2:8 (CSB)
It was extremely vital because some were questioning the supremacy and sufficiency of Jesus. They were also “adding” a blend of Jewish practices and Gnostic ideas (which emphasized a “secret knowledge”) and asceticism to the Gospel of Jesus. This “philosophy and empty deceit” (Colossians 2:8) is completely contrary to the all-sufficient Gospel of Jesus and needed to be addressed and countered! This false teaching is called “The Colossian Heresy.”
Paul iterates the identity of Jesus as “the image of the invisible God” (Colossians 1:15) in Whom “the fullness of God was pleased to dwell” (Colossians 1:19). He also reminds them that you can’t (and mustn’t!) add to what Jesus already. Our salvation is in Jesus, not by what we do.
Paul writes his letter first with some preaching to the Colossians and then teaching them about Christian living.
It’s all about Jesus, God incarnate, who saved us! Nothing more is needed; ever! Join us for our series of this wonderful book!
