Deadline for publication in the newsletter is the 25th of each month.

If you attended church last year on marathon weekend, you know that coming to church was a bit of a challenge...some of our members ended up on the wrong side of the marathon and parked at Fox Tech, others circled downtown two or three times before finding the correct exit and others got frustrated and went home.

It is marathon weekend again...DON'T STAY HOME! The ACES of the Alamo City Men's Chorale are singing in worship and will be having a spaghetti fundraiser lunch.

Here is the simplest way to get to church on Sunday. Get on a highway (I-10, Hwy. 281, I-35, I-37) and when you get to the I-35 interchange by the church TAKE THE UPPER LEVEL EXIT AT Mc.CULLOUGH (it doesn't matter which direction you are coming from).

The lower level exits will be closed.

Once on Mc.Cullough, take it to Camden and turn right on Camden. The church will be two blocks down.
