✨ Why Share?

Inspire Others: Your story could be the spark that brightens someone’s day or gives them hope.

Celebrate Family: Every story is a celebration of the unique bond that makes your family special.

Update on Piet:

He is recovering and healing from a series of surgeries and is adjusting to the new normal. I told him, he is one amazing human. Am I right? Another cool thing is, we were able to spend some time and have tea at the Hutto public library in their special meeting rooms.

Thank you all for your prayers. Let’s celebrate his victories and allow him to continue to integrate faith into every part of our life so we can experience depth, alignment, and sustained strength wherever the journey takes us.

The stars of this month are the Thompson family. Sandra and 'Big Tim' are enthusiastic advocates for all that is Hutto, and they are equally enthusiastic about giving back to this community through both their professional pursuits and their volunteerism.
Like many of us, they were a bit reluctant to believe they had much to add, but once they found their place, they jumped all in. A great example for us all.

Graduation 🧑‍🎓🎓👏🏼 Mother’s Day 🌸🌹 ..

What better way to commemorate a milestone than with a devotional gift that offers guidance and inspiration for the journey ahead.

A book signed by an author holds a special significance, symbolizing not just the wisdom within the pages, but also a personal connection to the words shared. Each prayer serves as a reminder of faith and resilience, and having Pastor Piet Van Waarde’s signature adds a personal touch, making it a cherished keepsake. We hope you can join him, have a glass of wine and pick up a signed copy.

What a special gift 🎁
