This year the trip will be June 7-16. June 7-12 will be in Lima. June 13-16 will be in Cuzco. The group will be led by Bishop Mike Rinehart. Participants may choose Lima only, but after having traveled so far, you won’t want to miss Cuzco, Iglesia Luterana Talitha Kum and the Lost City of Machu Picchu.

Adult Faith Formation Bible Study: 360, Reading the Bible Anew
This trip will enrich your understanding of Peruvian history and relationships with the Lutheran Church of Peru. You’ll pick up some Spanish, see the Andes and make new friends. For more information about the itinerary and cost, visit https://bishopmike.com/events/peru-trip/ or email Pastor Emmanuel at
[email protected].
360 is a journey from Genesis to Revelation that allows us to experience scripture in new and dynamic ways. As Christians, we simply do not learn or just study the scripture for knowledge. We assimilate it, and take it into our lives in such a way that it mobilizes us to acts of love, compassion and justice. This Bible study meets on Wednesdays at 9:30am and 7:00pm in the Life Center. You do not want to miss 360; a chance to read the Bible again for the first time.

This week we will continue the Study of Acts, by briefly looking into the Book of Hebrews. The Book of Hebrews was written for every Christian's help and change by bringing you to Christ HIMSELF. The name "Hebrews" indicates the importance of the content to the early Jewish Christians, but the power of this letter invigorates ALL who trust the Lord Jesus for life forever - and for right now. Please bring your Bibles and join us from 7 to 8:30pm on Tuesday in the Martin Luther Room. Questions? Contact Selina Ponniah at 281-352-4712 or

2018 Upbring Houston Golf Tournament Then Jesus opened their minds to understand the scriptures, and he said to them. “Thus it is written, that the Messiah is to suffer and to rise from the dead on the third day, and that repentance and forgiveness of sins is to be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things.” Luke 24:45-48 This simple tool is based on a focus verse from the Sunday text, then your household uses it in a nightly ritual - SHARE highs and lows, READ the Bible verse or story, TALK about how the Bible might relate to highs and lows, PRAY for one another’s highs and lows, BLESS one another. _______________________________________________________
