Men's Bible Study
DEUTERONOMY: COVENANTAL LOVE OF GOD AND NEIGHBOR
The Men's Bible Study begins meeting again on February 17 at
7 PM. The group will study the book of Deuteronomy.
Goals for the study of Deuteronomy include:
A. Learning about the history of the book and its importance within the Bible and Judaism.
B. Listening for the word of God for us today.
C. Opening our minds and hearts to be confronted by the warnings and issues Deuteronomy calls us to face.
D. Opening our imaginations to envision the world through categories of covenant, love, justice, neighbor, and the God of Israel.
E. Seeking faithful ways of enacting the vision of covenantal love of God and neighbor in our real lives.
All men are invited to join the group. Speak to Pastor Coffey if you have any questions.

Grain & Grape | Pub Theology
On the first Wednesday of the month, we gather at Home Sweet Farm to raise a glass and read deeper into a Bible story. We ask a lot of questions, we learn more about the historical context of Jesus’s life, and we always end up learning more about our lives too. Come join us at 7:30pm to be a part of this monthly gathering. All are welcome!

Fill the Basket
The Social Concerns Committee challenges you to fill our “Big Baskets” with donated items. You can find these baskets located in the narthex of the church as well as the fellowship hall. Each month there will be a different cause to donate to.
The Social Concerns committee would once again like to thank the congregation for their support of the Fill the Basket project for Brenham Middle School toiletries for students. Your gifts of Toothbrushes, Toothpaste and Deodorant will make a big difference in the lives of these young students as they prepare themselves for school each day.
May 2025
Another big thank you to members who brought diapers for Child Protective Services during the month of April. Your generosity in response to the Social Concerns monthly requests through the Fill the Basket campaign is truly a measure of God’s hand at work for those in challenging and difficult situations.
Faith Mission is the focus for Fill the Basket for the month of May.
They are in most need of the following:
- Basic hygiene items – small travel sizes of toothpaste and toothbrushes, disposable razors, deodorant and shampoo. These items are put together in zipper bags for clients.
- Canned fruit and soups
- Detergent – pods preferred but powder is also accepted
Monetary donations are also welcome. Make your check out to St. Paul’s with a notation that it go to Faith Mission. Thank you in advance for your gifts to Faith Mission Brenham.
We will be taking a break during the month of June but will resume in July with our back to school request for notebooks.
We challenge you to fill the baskets!
Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me. Matthew 25: (40)
