My Kingwood Tunic

When I consider the many lives that have woven themselves into our

hearts over the past five years, I realize you all have given me a precious

garment that will last a lifetime.

I see the worn elbows and dirty spots from the hard work and ser-

vice so many have participated in to make an impact in our community and,

most importantly, in the lives of others. Every hand that was extended to our

civil servants, every collection taken to help special causes, your generous

response to hurricane victims, and so many other efforts have made me

proud to be a part of this church family.

On this special garment, it’s nice to have extra padding on the knees.

With all the visibility this body has for prayer, a fantastic email ministry,

special times of bowing together in worship, and getting down on the level

of our wonderful children, that padding’s gotta last a long time! Thank you,

church, for demonstrating in such powerful ways the value of spending

much time in kneeling.

One of the things I will treasure most about this gift is how soft it

feels to my heart and the warmth it brings whenever I wear it. Every time I

shared a sincere and welcoming handshake or saw your engaging, enthusias-

tic smiles or hugged your neck or felt the tears of joy and sorrow, I was

drawing nearer to you. Amazingly, even when I would call or visit to show

my love for you during times of illness or other challenges, *I* was the one

who would always leave those encounters encouraged! Thank you so much

for making this place so special for Terri and me and for surrounding us and

each other with so much love.

I know I could gain a great deal of satisfaction just by hanging up

this clothing and admiring it and marveling at the unique weave of each fi-

ber. It could be touching and fun to try to remember where that stain came

from or that small tear or whose heart I stored in this pocket once.

Instead, though, I think I’d like to wear it. Everyday. In fact, I

really don’t think I have a choice. Anymore, it seems like everything else I

have stashed away in drawer or closet pales in comparison and certainly

doesn’t make my soul gush the way my Kingwood Tunic does. And from

what I can tell, based on how serving and seeking and loving this church is,

everyone will be wearing one of these things. And you know how important

it is to stay in fashion!

With much appreciation, affection, and love,

Wednesday Night “Kingwood Summit Series”

E100 Challenge ........................................... Aud

The Essential 100 (E100) is a new exciting way

to read through the Bible. It is based on care-

fully selected short Bible passages - 50 from the

Old Testament and 50 from the New Testament

--that are usually one to two chapters in length

and can easily be read each day in 10 minutes

or less. It helps you get the big picture of the

Bible without getting bogged down. Since the

summer is not long enough to complete the

entire challenge, we will be doing the first half

of the challenge, the Old Testament scriptures.

By the end of the summer, we will celebrate

having read the essential parts of the Old Testa-

ment that give us the story of God and His work

in this world and our life.

ing reading can be. You don’t need to

have any teaching experience. We will

provide a curriculum. If you would like

to teach one of the sessions, contact Llu-via Flores with Impact at 713-493-1957

or Suzy Gabriel at 281-413-0306. To our Brothers & Sisters,

Just wanted to take a minute to

say thank you for the cards and

prayers for us. The apartment,

too, is such a wonderful place to have a

“home away from home” so to speak.

We appreciate your kindness and support

through this journey. Thanks again.

Will & Emily Haney

Dear Friends,

Words are totally inadequate to thank you

for the many kindnesses shown us during

John’s hospitalization and return home.

Every visit, every call, every card lifted

our spirits, and every prayer is so appreci-

ated. You have truly carried us on the

wings of love during this stressful time.

Many of you provided transportation that

was so helpful and helped eliminate that

stress. The food brought to our home was

delicious and we sincerely appreciate the

effort you have made in providing not

only for our spiritual and emotional

strength, but for our physical needs. The

Lord has blessed us richly through your

tender and constant care.

John & Dalphene Bruton

GRADUATE ...Chris Doshier (son of Tim

from UTI with a certificate in

auto, diesel, and industrial tech-

nology (4.0 grade average). He will be

going to an International training pro-

gram in Chicago and then working for

International (job site unknown at this

A “BIG” thank you goes to the

Keith Clark, Ginny Elkins, Sara Foley,

Jeff Fowler, Edie George, Leroy & Pen-

nie Kelley, Bob Little, Levi Mason, Mar-

babies or kids in your house-

hold? Plenty do and would

appreciate those coupons targeted at

those age groups. All this to say—we

have placed a large box in the FLC to

share coupons. Leave some, take some;

just be kind and not greedy. There is

need, but would like to share with some-

one.
