Warm-Weather Workdays
The second Saturday morning of each month, May through September. Open to
all — old and young, men and women, boys and girls. Sprucing up both building and grounds (mowing, weed pulling, shrub trimming, tree pruning, baptistry cleaning, window washing, necessary minor repairs and maintenance, etc.). Donuts, coffee, juices, good fellowship and the satisfaction of a vital job done well make these workdays memorable and enjoyable.

Thanksgiving Service
On Wednesday night before Thanksgiving Day. An evening of songs, prayers, scripture readings and short talks expressive of our gratitude for the uncountable blessings flowing from the Father’s hand.

Ladies’ Studies and Retreats
Several ladies meet on Tuesday night each week at the Lees’ home for Bible study, except during the summer months. Ladies have held a number of weekend retreats at a mountain location, usually in the autumn.

"Summer Excitement."
Since the 1980’s, with a few exceptions, we have helped our teenagers and some of their friends attend the annual "Summer Excitement" leadership training program, first at Dallas, now at Lubbock. Our help has been extended through money-raising projects such as yard sales and car washes in the parking lot, through subsidizing a portion of the tuition in some cases, and through providing transportation or helping with transportation costs.

Annual Themes
For a number of years we have selected an annual "theme" for the congregation — some subject or phase of Christian living to be emphasized throughout the year. Besides being the focus of several sermons during the year, the theme is displayed on our annual calendar and in the weekly bulletin. Themes originate from members’ suggestions.

Some of our past themes: "We Are Family," "Love and Unity," and "O to Be Like Thee!" Perhaps the most unusual theme activity occurred in the year 2000. Our theme was "Count Your Blessings," and we decided to count at least "2000 blessings in 2000." We placed poster-size beige cardboard sheets on a table, with numbered lines for recording blessings. As each sheet was filled by the members, we mounted it on a wall of the fellowship area, so that at year’s end we had posters covering most of two walls, containing a list of 2000 blessings. We saved them and transcribed the blessings to a notebook which became part of our permanent files. Since that time we have provided a "blessing book" in a convenient place for people to use in recording things for which they are particularly grateful.

Church Calendar
Our annual calendar lists meeting times and our families’ birthdays and wedding anniversaries, and in recent years has also featured articles by the members pertaining to the annual theme. Thus the calendar is both practical and inspirational for year-long use.
