There will be breakfast tacos at 8:30. Email deb@thedormans.com if you want a taco or two.  I will probably bring a few extras, just in case! 

Hope to see you tomorrow morning.

Come join in the citywide prayer hosted by Hyde Park Baptist Church (3901 Speedway, 78759) on Thursday, September 14th at 7:00 PM. Our city welcomes Jim Cymbala, senior pastor of the Brooklyn Tabernacle, that night. Jim is the author of several books including Fresh Wind, Fresh Fire: What Happens When God’s Spirit Invades the Hearts of His People, a Christian book of the year.

Jim says in an article on prayer, “Let us evaluate the real prospects for a revival of the prayer meeting. According to Paul, it is possible to bring the Church back to God’s priorities. ‘First of all, then, I urge that entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men.’ from 1 Timothy 2:1. Whether in preparation for a fresh, powerful move of the Spirit or whether as a sign of an ongoing present revival of the Spirit – the prayer meeting will be paramount in the life of the Church. Hungry, sincere seekers of God will pour out their heart’s desire to Him in corporate prayer. Worship and praise will spontaneously ascend from the spirits of men and women who have seen Him who is invisible.”

Two Semesters, on Tuesdays, beginning September 19th:

Who is the Holy Spirit?

How does the Holy Spirit relate to the other members of the Trinity?

What are the gifts of the Holy Spirit and how do they work?

What is the fruit of the Holy Spirit?

Come explore and learn more about the Holy Spirit on Tuesdays from 7-9:00 PM starting September 19th. This two-semester class includes teaching and worship/ministry time.

Email Brett Hart for more information and to apply.
