Ike post 4

We had services this morning and were blessed by the sharing and centering ourselves on the Word and Sacrament. Thanks to John Woodard and Martha for the music ministry. We handed out crosses as a reminder of the love of God and heard our challenge to bear the cross to those around us. The people who attended the 11:00 picked up most of the shingles that have come off the roof. (Listen to my podcast for a description of the damage).
The church still does not have power, but because my apartment complex is next to the HEB I have power and internet. This will help in communication to those with the same, but I do realize that those without will have difficult time.
Our church is giving serious consideration to a relief organization that will bring truck load of supplies for us to distribute. The truck should be here by Thursday.
I will keep you informed. If you would like to help, call me on my cell. At this point we are canceling activities through Tuesday. We hope to have power back on by then. Check on Wednesday for the latest.
Pastor Tart
