Extended Family is a group of families of all sizes and ages.  Member families range from families of one to families of five.  The group meets the third Sunday of each month at a member’s house. Potluck meals are shared, there is often singing with guitar accompaniment, and we pray together and enjoy good fellowship. Please, join us!

The Men’s Prayer Breakfast meets in the Parish Hall every second and fourth Saturday of each month.  At 8:00 am, the group enjoys a hearty breakfast and then studies the scripture…all in an hour!  All men are welcome!   Attendees range from those in their twenties to those in their eighties. 

Eat…Pray…to start your day. 

Please join us!  Interested?  If so, contact Barnett Carthey-(254) 547-9163 or bcarthey@gmail.com.

Jesus commissioned his followers to “Go into all the world and preach the Good News of the Kingdom of God, and heal the sick.”  Perhaps more than any other time in history, our world today is still torn with bodies and souls that are sick and broken, so the task before us is far from finished. God’s call to all of us is abundantly clear, and he awaits our joyful and enthusiastic response.

Each one of us has some special healing gift to offer, and the Order of St. Luke is committed to helping each one of us realize that gift.  Members minister to the sick and conduct healing prayers for those in need.

There are prayer stations available during the communion at the church services. One on each side of the Nave.

Katrina Stone is the POC for OSL. Contact the church office for more information.

We no longer meet as a group, but knitters and crocheters can make prayer shawls at home for the church. 

Do you know someone who could use the loving comfort of a Prayer Shawl?  If so, then please contact the church office at (254) 634-7474 and let them know.

Do you knit or crochet, or want to learn?  If so, please feel free to join the ministry. If you are interested in joining the group, contact the church office.   (We also take yarn donations.)

The Mission Soup Kitchen in Killeen serves a hot meal to those in need and provides clothing and personal care items. 
Volunteers and donations are needed to sustain this non-profit organization.  If you don’t have time to serve, they will gladly accept donations of food, clean clothing, unused personal care items or monetary donations.  For further information, call the Kitchen at (254) 634-8322.

Why Honduras?  Because we are called to do good works and because we believe we can and do make a difference – one soul at a time.  

Mission Honduras is a week-long medical brigade to one of the poorest areas of Honduras.  Each July, about 60 – 70 volunteers go to the mountainous area of El Paraiso to provide primary health care.

We need physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, translators and LOTS of helpers on each trip.  You do not have to be a medical person to be of help. We have very safe living and food arrangements for the trip.

Honduras Good Works also has a scholarship program, El Paraiso Scholarship, to help send Honduran youth to high school; we also have a church support program, Serving Hands.

If you are interested and would like more information, please check out the Honduras Good Works website at www.hondurasgoodworks.org

July Ministry-Kathy Hull-POC

St. Christopher’s Outreach hosts a bingo night at Indian Oaks Living Center each month.

Usually about 7 volunteers help with calling bingo, assisting residents, and distributing prizes.

Average attendance is about 20 residents. In 2020, we will add our bingo as a ministry of the

month and collect some of the items needed for prizes. VBS has adopted Indian Oaks to take up a collection of prizes for the Bingo.

The “Lunch Bunch” Bible study is a bible study group that meets on Wednesdays at noon. Participants can bring their lunch and eat while studying a book of the bible. The group has lively and thought-provoking discussions about each book studied. Sometimes the group will read the Psalms or study the history of the church. Anyone is welcome to join.
