I am praying for you this morning… Do you ever wonder how much you can take? You think progress is being made, your hope is in high gear, and then… BAM! It all seems to be tumbling down, again. As I listened to our pastor talk about how just a week or so ago our area was thanking God for carrying us through the July 4, 2025 flood, and the progress being made…and then this week… It all came flooding down. Devastating. Did something in your own life come flooding down recently?? What do we do? I asked God that question in church yesterday. In His calming, steady, assuring voice He whispered… “Get out your ‘God’s Faithfulness’ list, Jane. I’ve never failed you yet, so why do you think I’ll start now?” The List. Page-after-page of God intervening in life’s most challenging situations, and carrying us through…stronger and better than before. I didn’t know if The List should be called “God’s Faithfulness” or “My Gratitude” list… and then I realized it should be both. God is faithful, and I am grateful. How about you? Pull out your list. If you don’t have one, start one. Date each entry. God is faithful, and I am grateful. “He lifted me out of the ditch, pulled me from deep mud. He stood me up on a solid rock to make sure I wouldn’t slip. He taught me how to sing the latest God-song. A praise song to our God.” Psalm 40:2 Thank You Unpaid Servants!  You're Invited! Sunday, July 19 at 4:00pm we will gather at Light on the Hill to express our gratitude for our chapel and the many ways the space has served us and how it will continue to serve us moving forward.  Camp EagleThis past week Grant Palmer and Pastor Katie took six of KFUMC youth to Camp Eagle in Rocksprings, Texas. We arrived with a little rain but that didn’t dampen our week one bit. Throughout the week, we trekked through a little bit of mud and hiked about 26 miles overall. Our worship sessions were absolutely amazing and filled with the Holy Spirit. The Bible study speaker was fantastic and really helped us to see our scriptures in a new perspective. All of us learned our camp dance for the week and joined in a couple other dances as well. We also learned how to play new games like Bunny Bunny. The kids enjoyed our team building activities like Shipwrecked, Drift Trikes, Underground Mine, and the 3D Web. Through these we got to learn a little more about each other and how to lean on each other for help. Our high element activities included Super Swing, Sherpa, Rock Climbing, and the Zip 3000. These activities really got our youth to step out of their comfort zone and challenge themselves to try new things. We especially loved our time swimming in the Nueces River because it was quite cool this year, which was a wonderful way to cool down after hiking to some of these activities. Together, we enjoyed the Waterfront twice during the week, and had fun with Water Barrels and Kayaking. Church, thank you so much for helping us pour into the spiritual lives of our youth! We can’t wait to share more about our experience with you at worship on August 9th!

As our nation celebrates its 250th anniversary, our community also remembers. We remember the lives lost, the families forever changed, and the weight that this day now carries for so many. There is room for both grief and gratitude. We can celebrate the blessings of today while honoring those whose absence is deeply felt. Remembering does not diminish our joy, and celebrating does not erase our loss. Together, we hold both. "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." — Psalm 34:18 As Seven Days of Prayer reminded us: "One of the most healing things we can do after a traumatic experience is to be honest about heartbreak and loss. Grief does not need to be hidden, minimized, or justified. Healing often begins not when pain disappears, but when we feel safe enough to acknowledge it." Today, may we remember with love, support one another with compassion, and move forward with hope. Prayer is a Personal and Powerful Thing Sunday evening, our community gathered for Prayer at the Park to remember those we’ve lost, pray for those who are hurting, and simply be together. It was a beautiful reminder that even in the midst of heartbreak, we don’t have to go through it alone. As a church family, we are joining our community in Seven Days of Prayer for Kerr County. Wherever you are today, we invite you to pause for a few moments and pray. Pray on your own, with your family, or with friends. Take this time to lift up our community and everyone who has been affected by this tragedy. Let’s remember those who were lost. Let’s pray for the families who are grieving, for first responders, and for everyone carrying the weight of these difficult days. Let’s pray for God to guard our hearts and minds as we continue to walk through this together.   A Week of Remembrance & UnityAs we move toward the 4th, our community will be gathering for a number of commemorative events across Kerrville and Kerr County. These moments are an opportunity to remember, reflect, and stand together with those who are grieving and those who are healing.
