June
Offering of Letters
June 5
Fight against funding cuts to hunger relief programs by writing letters to our local US Congressional Representative, Michael McCaul. Together with our friends at First Christian Church, Bryan, Friends Church is participating in Bread for the World's Offering of Letters campaign. This Christian organization advocates for policies and programs aimed at ending global hunger. Letter-writing materials, sample letters, and guidelines will be provided before and after the 9 am and 11 am services on May 25th and June 1st so that you can write a letter at church or take materials with you to write a letter at home and bring it back to Friends by 3 pm on June 5th. See bread.org for examples and videos that explain how to write an effective letter and why letters can be a powerful force for change. Letters from our churches will be combined with those from other local churches to be delivered to Rep. McCaul's College Station office.
Confirmation Sunday
June 8
Join us in the 11am service on Pentecost Sunday, June 8, as we confirm our confirmands. They have spent the last few months learning about theology, church history, and spiritual practices, as well as visiting other faith communities in B/CS. Through the guidance of their teachers and mentors, they have been tasked with writing their own statements of faith, and to put into words what it is they are saying “yes” to on their faith journey. We hope to see you on Confirmation Sunday!
