Because Presbyterians love to worship at sunrise

First Presbyterian Church of Del Rio sunrise service at the lake.

May we be humbled by the Savior washing our feet.

May we be fed at His table. 

May we not fall asleep on the One who loves us without condition.

May we not flinch from the violence of Jesus' cross. 

        It is a reflection of the world's violence:

             Person against person, nation against nation, religion against religion.

May we stay with Jesus. May we wait.

May we be resurrected by love.

May we enact God's love in a hurting world. 

Friends, may the rest of Holy Week touch us deeply. 

May we be faithful to Jesus.

May we rise with Christ on the third day. 

The peace of Christ be with you.

Wilson Lecture 2024

Creation (including humans) suffers pervasive exhaustion. Waterways are polluted. Mountains are stripped. Coral reefs are dying. Wildfires burn. And humans just keep going and going and going. Our exhausting legacy grows as creation groans. At some point, we must ask: Is exhaustion God’s will for the world? If not, then what? Does it matter that people of faith profess to worship a God who rests? Might people of faith be known one day for their familiarity with rest, renewal, and regeneration? This lecture will wrestle with these questions in the hopes that faith may still thrive, even in our exhausted world.

Support for the Youth Ministry Staff Position

We were surprised and delighted when Gina Acree and Gin Courtney from Madison Square Presbyterian Church in San Antonio stopped by our office on Tuesday. They came bearing paper: a check for $50,000 made out to Mission Presbytery to support the Youth Ministry staff position! 

CORRECTION: The funds came from an endowment for youth ministry started by Dr. William "Bill" Walker, Retired Chair of the Religion Department at Trinity University, a member of the Presbytery who worships at Madison Square. Bill was happy with the Session's decision to share these funds so generously with Mission Presbytery. This gift will go a long way to provide and strengthen youth ministry all across the southern fifth of Texas.
