SEPTEMBER 2026

“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.”
Psalm 46:1
Greetings,
September is here, and while the Texas heat is still here, we sure are looking forward to those cooler mornings that will eventually make their way to us. As families settle into the rhythm of a new school year, we continue praying for all our children, teachers, and school staff asking God to cover them with His protection, guide them with His wisdom, and surround them with His peace as they move through this busy season.
As the school year gets underway, we are grateful that our Good News Club at Bishop Arts STEAM launched in August. We currently have 19 children registered, and we’ve been blessed to see 12 children attending so far. We thank God for this opportunity to share His Word each week. We are deeply grateful for every volunteer who serves with faithfulness and joy, your dedication makes an eternal impact. Please continue praying for our volunteers and for every child who attends; that God would open their hearts, strengthen their families, and draw them closer to Him throughout the year.
We also celebrate the wonderful summer God blessed us with; full of fellowship, camps, outreach, and meaningful moments as a church family. Thank you to everyone who helped make each event special.
As we move into September, our Wednesday night meals continue to be a place of connection and encouragement. We invite you to join us, bring a friend, and enjoy a time of fellowship in the middle of the week.
Our memory verse for the month is Psalm 46:1: “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.” This verse reminds us that no matter what challenges or changes this season brings, God remains steady, strong, and near. He is our shelter, our support, and our source of courage.
As we step into September, may God bless this new season with growth, and renewed purpose. And please be sure to check the church calendar for all the other events happening this month.
Blessings,
Marco Castillo
