Dear Church Friends,

Pastor Jeremy McCombs and his family have safely relocated to Pendleton, Oregon. Filling the pastoral position in the Lubbock Church has been a challenge and came at a very busy time for the Texico Conference. However, Pastor Phil Robertson and Pastor Lee-Roy Chacon, Texico Conference President, assure us they are diligently searching for a Pastor.

A Big Shout-Out to our Lubbock Board of Elders who have stepped up to fill the pulpit the past month of June.

Many of our Lubbock congregation attended the final session of the General Conference in San Antonio this past Sabbath, July 11. Check with Walter Foust if you would like a copy of Robert Plant’s, July 11, message “Final Exam”.

Abel Rios, will be our “home-grown” guest speaker on Sabbath, July 18. Don’t miss his message “Preparing for Some Kinda Road”. Welcome Home, Abel.

Pastor Phil Robertson will be with us Sabbath, July 25, to introduce Pastor Geraldo Alonzo, who is the current Youth Pastor at the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Keene, Texas. Pastor Alonzo will be the guest speaker. Plan to stay for a Fellowship lunch.
