Greetings to all. Prayers that all are safe and well. The Board of Stewards continues the weekly meetings to lead the church in these challenging times. We continue to give thanks to Valerie Slade and her staff for their ongoing effort to keep us informed about the finances of the church. Her words last night regarding the staff’s efforts were “extreme expense conservation.” With the influx of federal funds for salaries, utilities and other related expenses and the staff’s expense management, we are making it through this period so far. The challenges will increase as we begin reopening the campus in June.

The awe of this - for me - was the pure and simple joy on my kids’ faces when they checked the truck over that 4-hour period. I wondered, me of little faith, if they would be "disappointed in the result…" my mind went as far as to how I would talk them through that.  Thank you, Lord, for giving me my children to remind me to center Hope in You, on You, with You.  And - perhaps most importantly - to START there.

Hello and Happy May. Wishing all mothers a marvelous Mother’s Day. The Board of Stewards meeting yesterday was well represented. Lydia Ponce joined us from the Asbury Campus. It was great to see her.

The AHUMC Missions & Outreach Task Force recently decided to financially support three agencies in San Antonio who continue to operate and serve the community during this time of quarantine. As you continue to support our church with your financial giving, please know that we’re supporting these amazing agencies!
