Hurricane Ike Information
By Pastor John Carroll | September 12, 2008
As Hurricane Ike approaches the Texas Gulf Coast, we have a golden opportunity to apply Pastor Greco’s sermon from last Sunday: “Can God Take Care of Me? Anxiety” based on Matthew 6.25-34. Our prayer is that you will be kept safe in His providential care and grow strong in faith as you trust Him. There is an appropriate level of concern and we should prepare wisely for what appears to be a severe storm but may that concern not turn into sinful, debilitating worry that fails to remain peaceful in the midst of trials.
The session of Christ Church is seeking to make contact with our member families. Ruling elder Daryl Brister has offered to spearhead efforts to assist those who may need help making immediate repairs, clearing debris, etc. Please call the church office and we will seek to see that you get help (281-392-0002).
Further information may also be found by logging onto the Harris County Office of Emergency Management site by going to
Katy ISD has suspended all activities in their facilities for the entire weekend, so we will not have worship services on Sunday or any other activities through the weekend.

I pray that you are safe and sound with your family this morning. Please call, email or text message to let us know you are OK or if you have needs.
Power is back on at my house. I have fences down, branches down but, so far, the trees have apparently held up. Winds are still gusting strongly so it’s not over yet. We thank God for watching over us.
