This week we sang a hymn titled “We Come to You for Healing, Lord.” The words, written in 2002 by a minister, speak so eloquently what we sometimes struggle to ask of God during our time of difficulty.
We come to you for healing, Lord,
of body, mind, and soul,
and pray that by, your Spirit’s touch,
we may again be whole.
As once you walked through ancient streets
and reached toward those in pain,
come, risen Christ, among us still
with power to heal again.
You touch us through physicians’ skills,
through nurses’ gifts of care,
and through the love of faithful friends
who lift our lives in prayer.
When nights are long with wakefulness,
through days when strength runs low,
grant us your gift of patience, Lord,
your calming peace to know.
We come to you, O loving Lord,
in our distress and pain,
in trust that through our nights and days
your grace will heal, sustain.
We had GREAT week going to Mars and Beyond with our Vacation Bible School this summer. We had 28 kids at 24 volunteers who made our week out of this world.

On Sunday, July 21st, we celebrated Pastor Drew’s 6th anniversary as our beloved Pastor at First Presbyterian Church, Granbury. We are honored and delighted to have him serve our congregation.

Jerry Althouse surprised us all with one of his poem’s in Drew’s honor.
We also took a Family Photo of the congregation after our joint 10 am service, a replication of the photo we took 6 years ago when Pastor Drew joined our church.
FPC is a happy and vibrant congregation of over 300 members in the historic and growing lakeside town of Granbury, about 30 miles southwest of Fort Worth. We are a dynamic worshipping community with a wide range of local ministries. The Associate Pastor will assist our senior Pastor, Drew Travis, in his overall duties. A person with a collaborative and compassionate character is needed to assist the elders and pastor with the leadership of the congregation in the 11 areas of ministry.
Be part of God’s work in our church and community. View our MIF #08746.AB1 on the PCUSA CLC website and send your PIF to: granburyapc@gmail.com.
We had a great final P10 class on 7/14/19 with over 35 people in attendance! We heard about different areas of the church from elders who represent them (Christian Education, Property, Finance, etc.)
