Becky Roth returns May 1

We are excited to tell you that our Director Of Children's Ministry, Becky Roth, is returning from her leave of absence on May 1. We rejoice to welcome back back into her leadership role, and hope you will share your joy with Becky as well.

National Day of Prayer

National Day of Prayer is an opportunity to pray in UNITY across denominational lines in the public square for our nation. Let us not miss this opportunity. We have five locations and six times. We need people to show up! We need intercessory prayer in these two weeks leading up to the event and the day of the event because we hope for a spiritual result not a physical one.

The 57th annual 2008 National Day of Prayer is May 1
We will have five events:

  • Sugar Land Town Square 12:00 noon,
  • Missouri City - City Hall 10:00 AM and 6:00PM,
  • Stafford City Hall 6:00 PM,
  • Richmond Court House 6:30 PM
  • Arcola City Hall 3:30

A memorial service to celebrate the life of Margaret Mary Stubenrousch will be held at Fishers of Men this Saturday, May 3rd at 1:00 pm.

Groundbreaking Ceremony & BBQ

Fishers of Men will celebrate our groundbreaking on Sunday, May 4. A barbeque lunch from Pappas Barbeque will be served beginning at 11:30 am and a freewill offering will be accepted. Please bring pop up tents if you have one for shade and to share shade with others.

The official groundbreaking ceremony will be at 1:00 pm. Make plans to join us for this joyous occasion!

No Adult Sunday Bible Study May 4th

There will not be any Adult Sunday Bible study on May 4th at the library in order to allow people to prepare for the groundbreaking celebration. Many thanks to Matt Kuntz for completing a wonderful series on evangelism, and we look forward to Matt teaching additional classes in the future. For Sunday the 11th, we will begin the Psalms class. Tell your friends, and we look forward to seeing you there and at the groundbreaking!

Afternoon Tea & Style Show

This Sunday is the Last Day to Make Your Reservations!

The Lady Fishers are very excited about our May 10th Afternoon Tea and Style Show benefiting the Children of Promise, which is a ministry of the Lutheran Social Services of the South, the largest provider of services for children living in Texas.
