Weekly Update: April 23, 2025
Word from the Pastor:
I pray this newsletter finds you well and enjoying the warmer weather! We had an absolute blast this past Sunday—what a great way to celebrate Easter together. A huge thank you to the entire gospel band for making it all happen, especially given the flu and a surgery—your dedication is truly appreciated!
Ben and Megan, thank you and your girls for serving up amazing lamb and pork tacos to over 100 people. And to everyone who brought a side dish or helped with the Easter egg hunts—thank you! I know I may be missing some of you, and that’s not my intention, but please know how much we appreciate all of your contributions. We truly displayed a cross-shaped community here in Driftwood!
Finally, before we dive back into the Gospel of John, I’d like to take a moment to reflect on a story that, I believe, reveals how the church-in-action is meant to look after the resurrection.
Have a great week, and we’ll see you on Sunday!

Volunteers Needed
Our church needs your support! If God is calling you and you are interested in a volunteer opportunity, please complete this form or contact one of the trustees or pastor. Thank you! https://forms.gle/K2AFU9b9fbeoiZyM7
The Board has a working list of volunteer needs relative to the church service and maintenance items at the church. Be on the lookout for this list and be in prayer about how you can help.
If you have a gift of organizing and/or managing, please consider the Hospitality Coordinator volunteer position. This is an organizational role responsible for recruiting and assigning volunteers for the Sunday Social Hour, 5th Sunday luncheon, holiday meals and general business meeting snacks, etc. Duties of the volunteers that you recruit would include set-up, clean-up, and keeping the kitchen stocked with supplies (coffee, sugar, creamer, paper goods, condiments, juice).
Social Hour: Sundays at 10:00 am
Our social hour is a great way to get to know each other over breakfast tacos! We meet in the Education Building at 10:00 a.m. before the 11:00 a.m. church service.
Dripping Springs Helping Hands Pantry
Beginning the month of February, the 2nd Sunday of each month is designated for pantry donations. Please place your nonparishable food items in the blue barrel in the Education Building.
