Wayne Urbanowski (Senior Pastor, Leon Springs Presbyterian Church, San Antonio) have called for a time of mourning and prayer for flooding that took so many lives, especially young children. Our sister-ECO Presbyterian congregation in Dallas – Highland Park Church have at least three families who are grieving the homegoing of their daughters who were attending Camp Mystic, where the floodwaters hit the hardest. *For this week, fast at least one meal and pray for all the grieving families, those who are still missing, the heroic first responders still searching, and all the churches who incurred great damage from this disaster. Let us heed the message of Presbytery Moderator Rev. Urbanowski –

The speaker nearest to the door is still not working, but the one speaker that is functioning correctly is more than sufficient to hear well. We apologize again for any disturbance to worship. *The Preschool Worship Room also livestreams the worship service from the flat-screen TV. Utilize any of these avenues to enhance your worship for the Lord! *PASTORAL BREAK – SUNDAY (7/27) – The Session has encouraged, mandated, and ordered the Pastor to take the minimum 2-Sunday off break period.

*TODAY’S BREAKOUT DISCUSSION GROUPS after-service in the gymnasium cafeteria – Today, spend some time in your group tables (group# found in the note page of your bulletin) and share the life of the preached Word. Pre-read, think through, and share this spiritual food in discussion with one another! “Even with Your Shadow, Release All the Words and Works of Life” (ACTS 5:12-21a). (1.) [v.12-13] Many miraculous signs and wonders were regularly done by the hands of the apostles, but did all those who witness them join the Church (v.13a)? Although they dared not to join the New Testament Church, how did they view these Christians (v.13b)? Although Christ regularly shows me that He is the miraculous sign and wonder of my salvation, how have I not fully joined in His work and His Church? How am I esteeming and honoring followers of Jesus without being one myself? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (2.) [v.14-16] Although a certain “rest” of the people dared not join the believers, what continued to happen (v.14)? In particular, how exponentially did the influence of Christ’s miraculous signs and wonders through the apostle Peter grow among those who were sick (v.15-16)? How is the Lord desiring to bring not just some, but multitudes of both men and women, infant to elderly, to Jesus through me despite some who walk away from this mission? How does Christ want to exponentially grow my influence for Him, so that even my shadow that falls on some may bring the healing touch of His powerful life? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (3.) [v.17-21a] Although the spiritual leaders of the day arrested the apostles out of jealousy for their spiritual power, what happened (v.19)? What did they continue to do, just as the angel of the Lord instructed (v.20-21)? How is Christ’s influence through me opening imprisoned souls? How must I press on in this? *UPCOMING (*notice some dates may have changed) –
*UPCOMING HAPPIEST BIRTHDAY TO YOU FROM OUR HOSANNA FAMILY! We celebrate you and love you in Christ so much! (*Let us know if we missed your birthday! We sincerely apologize) –
*KINGDOM EXPANSION PRAYER – This week’s Kingdom expansion prayers will focus on the 2025-’26 Hosanna Ordained Spiritual Leadership Scripture: And what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men and women, who will be able to teach others also. (2 TIMOTHY 2:2) Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith; if service, in our serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching; the one who exhorts, in his exhortation; the one who contributes, in generosity; the one who leads, with zeal; the one who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness. (ROMANS 12:6-8) Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they are keeping watch over your souls, as those who will have to give an account. Let them do this with joy and not with groaning, for that would be of no advantage to you. (HEBREWS 13:17) Prayer (by Pastor Chester): Heavenly Father, we first take a moment to lift-up to You the over one-hundred grieving families who have lost their loved ones, precious young daughters, parents, siblings, those who are still missing, and the first responders still searching the flood wreckage. We mourn especially for the little children. Father, receive them into Your everlasting arms, and wipe away the tears of all the grieving parents. Restore unto them the hope of the resurrected Lord Jesus Christ, how we will all be together at that glorious last day. Until then, raise up Your chosen servants, especially the new class of 2025-’26 ordained spiritual officers of your beloved Church. Father, we continue the nominations with prayerful hearts, having heard from Your apostle Paul to entrust the gospel to faithful men and women able to teach others. Reveal to us our spiritual gifts, so that we might use them to serve, to teach, to exhort, to contribute, to lead, to act in Your mercy. Let us obey our spiritual leaders and humbly submit to them out of reverence for Christ. Let us progress in these nominations with joy in fulfilling our covenant partnership responsibilities to Your beloved Church. In the name of our Chief Elder, Chief Deacon, and Head Pastor Jesus Christ, Amen & amen!
