MUSIC THIS WEEK
During these summer weeks when our music choices express the more casual and happy freedoms of informal living, we are blessed to have the handbell choir perform for us, playing hymn favorites of praise and patriotism. A special hymn they will ring is, On Eagle’s Wings. It’s composer, a very highly educated catholic scholar, Fr. Joncas, commented about music in the church; “We pastoral musicians do not sing to entertain bored worshipers or to seduce them into brainless ecstasy; we may sing in the Spirit, but we also sing with our minds.” Maybe that is why these hymns are special enough to be part of both our casual and more disciplined lives. Share your holiday with us as we ring praises.

Meetings
As we move towards further loosening of restrictions, we find ourselves with the wonderful predicament of sharing space! Please make sure all your in-person meetings are scheduled through the Church Office to make sure we have adequate space to accommodate everyone's needs. You can email the request to Office@tequestapres.org

Vacation Bible School
This past week we were very blessed with a wonderful group of volunteers. Every step of the way, they showed love and care to all the students. This week was only possible because of your generous prayers and support for this ministry. We look forward to next week's VBS at the Real Life Children's Ranch.
