The children of Southminster Church and School came together with some live animals (and a few adults) to celebrate the birth of Jesus in a live nativity service of lessons and carols.

Once again, this year we provided Christmas cookies for the young people at Fort Bend County Juvenile Probation.  Please bring two dozen cookies (homemade or store-bought) by Sunday December 19.  They will be collected by Doug Earle for distribution. (You’re welcome to bring more than two dozen if you’d like!)

Three Wise Men visited the children of the church and school bearing gifts and wise words while all were enjoying breakfast tacos and a variety of colorful crafts.

One hundred twenty-seven gift boxes--enough for the crews of  five ships went to the Houston International Seafarers’ Center.  The chaplains began distributing the presents in early December.  All of the crews are far from home and many will spend Christmas in some port or at sea, so the gifts are well received.

Friends and Family made Southminster Youth Group's Annual Chili Cook-Off Fundraiser  a successful evening with great food and great people.  Look for pictures on our Facebook page.

This year all funds raised were donated to TEXSAR in gratitude for their continual efforts searching for Jason Landry, one of our church's beloved youth who went missing on December 13th, 2020, and is still missing.

There were 16 different and tasty champion chilis. The winning team raising the most money was the Bramer brothers' Hillbilly Chili.  These 2021 Cook-Off winners took home the Golden Chili Bowl.   Second place went to two-time winner, Pastor David Northcutt with West Texas Heat.  Third was defending champion, Bill Johnson's Cowboy & India chili.

On Halloween night we hosted Trunk or Treat in the church parking lot! It was great to see so many families from the community, our school, and our church. Thanks to everyone who provided a trunk and a safe place for kids to trick or treat. You can see more photos from the event on our church's Facebook page.

In the Old Testament God's people had to wander around the wilderness for 40 years once they left slavery in Egypt in order to prepare their hearts for entering the Promised Land. During that time God provided Manna, a bread-like substance, to eat each day. Our Manna Bags are bags filled with items that would give immediate sustenance and relief to our brothers and sisters experiencing homelessness or going through a hard time. Thanks to everyone who donated items for the bags.

Pick up a bag or two when you come to church and keep it in your car. You never know when God may bless your path with someone who needs it.
