Stitchers for Jesus – June 2023

by Cheryll Overla
 
The stitching ladies are a very special group.  I can’t call them sewers anymore because in 2022 we added a new division to our group, the knitters and crocheters and now they are called “Stitchers & More”.  Besides making dresses, shorts sets, walker tote bags and quilted blankets, we now are making afghans and newborn baby hats (for a baby hospital in Guatemala). We have monthly meetings in which we bring in the items that have been handmade and sometimes our tables look like a children’s specialty store!  It is amazing to see how the Lord has blessed us with talented people who use their time and effort to serve Him by loving and caring about children in need around the world. We all love to work with our hands and we love fabrics and yarns. Isn’t it just like God to give us a love for these things and a ministry to serve Him and meet some dire and very basic needs? 
 
In addition to the clothing, we also make the shoe bags that are used for First Blessing every year. It is already time to start getting fabric sorted and cut so the ladies can work on this year’s bags.  Also, one of our ladies is currently cutting out head dresses for the children to wear in VBS this year. They will be Israelites in several different tribes. How very exciting!
 
Here is what we were able to send out in 2022:  653 dresses, 54 shorts sets, 69 quilted flannel blankets, 119 afghans, 72 baby hats and 82 walker tote bags.  We are hoping to do that much or more by the end of this year, Lord willing. In August, we will have an old-fashioned sewing bee and will also work on some special projects.
 
There are people that greatly bless and help us keep our ministry going.  We receive monetary donations and donations of fabrics, yarn and sewing notions.  We could not accomplish as much without this help and we are thankful to each and every one. September is our 8-year anniversary and 2 ladies are still members that have been since the beginning: Sue Stewart and Rita McFaddin. 
 
We are always happy to welcome new stitchers to the group. Does this sound like something you can do and may want to be a part of? Come check us out!

College and Young Professionals

 
Would you invest money in a retirement account if you didn’t know that money would grow and provide you with financial support in your golden years? Probably not! Spiritual investment is sometimes different than future financial planning. The result of some Kingdom investments will never be known this side of heaven.
 
Investments we make in young adults who are in college or testing the waters of the work force can seem risky. “They don’t give to the church!” “We can’t count on them being here.” These are just two observations (complaints, perhaps) about those in their 20 and 30-somethings.
 
Trinity’s College and Young Professionals’ ministry seeks to engage young adults in a vibrant discipleship life. Navigate is the Sunday night worship and fellowship arm of this ministry. We offer this ministry knowing that Trinity Baptist Kerrville may never reap the results that we are accustomed to from other church members. However, God has given us different evaluation standards. If we are willing to look at the big picture, we might see a 23-year-old woman today become an international missionary worship leader 10 years from now. We might notice a 27-year-old man today who will lead the greeter’s ministry in a new church plant in an unchurched area of Los Angeles.
 
Would you pray about investing in young men and women who need someone to walk beside them and say “You’ve got this!”? We need 3-4 people who would consistently join us Sunday nights, build relationships with young adults, and invest in the lives that cross over the Millennials and Gen Z.
 
Navigate meets Sunday evenings. Doors open at 6:30 pm, worship begins at 7 pm. Share this with the young people in your life, and consider sharing in their lives!

Women’s Bible Study – May 2023

by Chana Johnson
 
What a great year we are having in our Wednesday morning and Thursday evening Bible study classes! We continue growing in our numbers as we study God’s word together. Not only do we have our TBCK women in our study, but as we reach out beyond our church to our community, more and more ladies are coming to hear the message of the Gospel.
 
WBS has been studying the book of Acts, from the Joy of Living Bible Studies. Debbie Williams, our teaching leader, blesses us each week as she expounds on the message God has for us in each chapter of Acts. Debbie’s teaching videos are available on the TBCK website and You Tube channel.
 
Upcoming News:
  • WBS will use Debbie Williams’ study of 2 Peter for the 4 weeks of July; Wednesday mornings at 10 AM and Thursday evenings at 6:30 PM.
  • In the fall, our ladies will study John, from the Joy of Living Bible Studies. Debbie Williams has committed to be our teaching leader through April, 2024.
  • The first part of John will be September 13 – November 21. We will finish the study of John in the spring of 2024, January 17 – March 27.
  • We are planning a 4-week study in April 2024 using one of Debbie Williams’ studies: Jude or selected Psalms.
  • Ask any lady in our WBS weekly study, and you will hear “we are blessed!”.

Texas Chainsaw Ministry

by Rick Boles
 
The Texas Chainsaw Ministry is a Disaster Relief Ministry that ministers to those in need following hurricanes, tornadoes, and Ice Storms. Our Ministry partners with the Texas Baptist Men Disaster Relief. Our Ministry provides training on a regular basis so those who volunteer can be prepared to take trees off houses, other structures and can also remove trees and debris that block access to homes during disasters. Our Ministry is fully operated by volunteers who have a calling to meet those needs but, more importantly, use those disasters as opportunities to share Jesus Christ with those who may not have a relationship with the Lord.
 
God has been faithful to provide the equipment we have, from chainsaws, to a man lift, as well as a Skid Steer. Our equipment trailer has not only saws but ropes, pulleys, and other rigging equipment to be able to remove trees and limbs off structures so that the structures aren’t damaged any further.
 
Over the last year and into the first part of this year our Ministry has served in these ways:
 
A team worked in the Columbus Texas area, removing debris from a house that burned down.
 
We worked an Ice Storm in South Austin for seven days with six members of our team. In disasters such as this, our team sleeps in church Sunday School rooms and our meals are provided by a Disaster Relief Food Service team.
 
Currently, four of our team members are working at Alto Frio Baptist Encampment cutting trees to assist in renovation projects the camp has planned. They also remove limbs that could affect current buildings as well as clean up any damage caused by wind storms.
 
We also do some local work for people who are unable. This includes people with severe health issues, those who are widows, those who do not have insurance, and poor people who can’t afford to deal with tree problems. It is important that we not get too involved in too many local trimming projects because our main purpose is Disaster Relief.
 
We appreciate the support provided by our church family and staff.
