Many thanks for your prayer for the REACH student music project last weekend. Things went wonderfully and Christ was glorified and lifted up. Thank Angela, for leading in my absence at the 9:15 service. We were worshipping at the same time in the Youth Detention center in Corsicana.

This week's worship is going to be fantastic. Don't miss it.
