Eagle Pass Frontera Ministries is a Southwestern Texas Synod mission development which is co-located with Iglesia Luterana San Lucas in Eagle Pass, Texas, on the Rio Grande border with Mexico.  This organization serves “Migrants who have been processed by the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP)" who are “placed at Mission Border Hope where they can stay overnight and are helped with transportation logistics to San Antonio and/or to their final destination within the country, while they wait for their asylum process to continue.”  The Southwestern Texas Synod also serves “alongside the Methodist Ministry of Mission Border Hope and the Catholic Ministry Frontera Digna.”  The organizations “respond together to essential daily needs of all migrants for food, water, clothing, hygiene, and personal essentials”.  

Peace will be organizing a youth retreat to go to Eagle Pass this summer, stay tuned for more information on this experience.

Seekers and Sponges has started a new DVD series for discussion on Sunday: "Embracing Emergence Christianity:  Phyllis Tickle on the Church's Next Rummage Sale".  Author, historian and keen cultural observer Phyllis Tickle invites us to join her in examining the changing face of Christianity and culture. Phyllis surveys 2000 years of Western history, identifying the great upheavals that occur in Western culture and Christianity every 500 years. The last was the Great Reformation of the 1500’s; the next is happening now. What are the implications of this “Great Emergence,” both culturally and spiritually? What are the key questions and issues that need to be addressed? Where might we be headed next? And, perhaps most importantly, where are you, at this moment? Might you be an emergence Christian?  

Each of the six sessions in this series begins with a 10 -15 minute video presentation by Phyllis Tickle and then our group will discuss her perspectives.

 In our “Exploring the Bible Together” study, we meet by Zoom as a small group for about 45 minutes each week. Our study covers a wide range of topics, examining more closely the history, content, context, development, message, and interpretation of the Bible. As we do this, we grow in our understanding of the relevance and application of the Bible for our lives today.

This week, we began a new study series on the Gospel of Matthew.  This church year the majority of our gospel readings will come from Matthew.  It is a beautiful writing which shares the story of Jesus in a pwerful way.

Anyone is welcome to join us - no experience with Bible study (or even the Bible) is necessary!

We are part of one church body organized in three expressions — congregations, synods, and the churchwide organization. Each expression has its particular functions but all three together share a common mission of doing God’s work in the world and proclaiming the good news of Jesus Christ. Together, they ensure a solid foundation of leadership, active involvement in communities, opportunities for dialogue and diverse perspectives, creative partnerships, and support for members and ministries of the ELCA.
