Life with God is a study of Lutheran teachings and confessions. This is an ideal Bible study for new members, those who would like to be members of our congregation, those who want to learn more about what Lutherans believe, and members that want to study God's Word and enjoy fellowship. There are light snacks and babysitting is provided. We meet in the Bible classroom every Monday evening from 7:00 - 8:30pm. Class begins September 9, and runs for at least 12 weeks.

Even though abortion is illegal in Texas, we continue to encounter abortion-minded women in crisis pregnancies every day. Your efforts to raise funds ensure that our expanding Blue Blossom Pregnancy Centers (Big Blue, Baby Blue, Little One, Little Two, and our main office) continue to provide free services to help women in crisis pregnancies choose life for their preborn child. Please watch for the official invitation in your mail or email.

Our Stand & Pray Day is Saturday, October 18! The overturning of Roe vs Wade has been an incredible answer to our prayers but there is still work to be done. In our home state of Texas, women are still being seen at abortion clinics to be referred out-of-state for abortion procedures to end their babies’ lives. The Fall 40 Days for Life Campaign is from September 25-November 3, outside of Planned Parenthood, Gulf Freeway, from 7am-7pm. Please consider standing or sitting in a lawn chair outside Planned Parenthood and praying for 2 hours on Friday, October 18, any time from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm. Typically, shifts are 2 hours but there is no requirement. If you can spare an hour or 30 minutes, it will be very much appreciated. There is much power in prayer! Just look what God has done thus far! His plan can turn the hearts of the cold and apathetic to His love and care. Will you stand with us?
