Presbyterian Update on Building
P A G E 3 V O L U M E 1 , I S S U E 1
This week First Pres-
byterian Church sold
its beloved church on
the corner of Live Oak
and Knox street.
There are mixed emo-
tions from everyone in
the congregation and I
pray we will love and
support one another
in this time of
closing out one
ministry and
honor those who
made that minis-
try possible. At the same
time, we excitedly antici-
pate where God leads us
into the future. As part of
the contract, Bible Baptist
gave us their building (I call it the
new FPC)which means that
youth ministry continues as well
as looking at possible new minis-
tries for our congregation.
May God lead, guide and direct
us as we step into this new fron-
tier of ministry in a new building!
Where: Mo-Ranch
When: May 29-31 or
June 1-3
Theme: Reflecting the
light from Mountaintop to
Mainstreet
Cost: $242-280/person

ships available. For

Note’s from TJ
Children’s Director Hello Church Members,
I would like to share a little
bit of information with you
all. I am currently conduct-
ing a survey throughout
MDO and Preschool. I
have been researching sur-
rounding MDO programs
and have come up with
some ideas for next school
year. A brief overview of
my ideas consists of com-
bining MDO and Preschool
(MDO Xtreme) and chang-
ing the program to Tuesday
and Thursday, 9am-3pm,
September through May.
Ages that could attend
would be 6 weeks -5 years.
A Christian based curricu-
lum would be offered.
During the summer we
would hold class on
Wednesdays during June
and July with the month of
August off. A school aged
group will also be offered
during the summer. The
ages would be K-3rd. They
too would have a summer
curriculum.
I am very excited to get the
surveys in and see what the
parents think about the idea.
If you are a church member
and your child does not
attend MDO or Preschool
but will in the future I
would love for you to fill
out a survey. I know the
information I have provided
to you is very minimal, but
at this time the change is
not definite. It is research
to find out if this would be
the best way for us to edu-
cate the children
of the future.

What a crazy few weeks it's been here at the parish! God has definitely been mov-
ing. And it doesn't look like things are going to slowdown in the near future, as far
as I can tell, and I couldn't be more excited. The youth officially moved all of its
belongings into FPC's new building and it's awesome (at least on its way to be-
coming awesome). There's a lot of work to be done which is going to have to be a
group effort from all of the parish and I believe we can do it.A few weeks ago at
the planning retreat I talked about how I believe God has built a platform for
our church to do youth ministry and our new building is just a part of that plat-
form! I would encourage each of you to begin to pray about how you can better
serve our student ministry to Jacksboro. I started this article with the word crazy.
Crazy can be scary sometimes but it can also be exciting. My prayer is that in the
midst of the craziness you're not as scared as you are excited. TJ York~Living

to finding a local AA,
but that group just lost
their meeting place.
Well, one thing led to
another and here we’re
are hosting AA again!
Praise God for using us
and our church in ways
we continue being
amazed. Praise God for
this congregation who
is willing to offer the
help to those who need
it. Thank you, church!
God bless this new min-
istry of our church.
Last week, an opportu-
nity opened up for our
church to host a local
AA group. It’s amazing
seeing God work and
how things happen.

complete stranger led
My prayer is
that in the
midst of the
craziness,
you’re not
as scared as
you are ex-
cited. ~TJ

Dear Church, What a crazy couple of months! As crazy as it has been, I’ve been blessed beyond my wildest imagination by this ministry and the people of this church. I cannot thank you enough for all the kindness you show my family and your willingness to work so hard for the church! All I can do is offer a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone! This coming month will not slow down either. I will be gone the week of 2/6-9 for Minister’s Week, Installation services is on the 5th and on February 22nd we have the start of Lent with our Ash Wednesday Service with FUMC. I LOVE this church and all the ministry we get to do together! We are already one month into the new year and ministries are starting anew. That being said, it takes all of us to make those ministries happen. I ask that you spend time in prayer and let God’s Spirit lead you as you venture onto new ministries, start participating in old ministries and find ways of being God’s hands and feet to God’s world! All the committees need your support and your hard work...please volunteer as you feel God calling you to a specific area of min-istry. Some ideas of ministry include (but not limited to): choir, worship plan-ning, children’s ministry, outreach, youth ministries, helping move and unpack FPC, fellowship meals, bring your ideas to various programs and so much more! We need your hard work, creativity, prayers, excitement and willing spirits!!! See everyone has a place at this church...bring your gifts that God’s given you and let’s get to work!
St. Theresa of Avila wrote: "Christ has no body now but yours No hands, no feet on earth but yours; Yours are the eyes through which he looks compassion(ately) on this world. Yours are the feet with which He walks to do good Yours are the hands with which He blesses all the world Yours are the hands Yours are the feet Yours are the eyesYou are His body." So, Christ continues on through you, me, us...may we all do what we can for Christ! Much love, Ana
