Good Friday/Easter Sunday Services at Santa Inez in the Ghostown
Visiting Priest Mike Wallens, from St. Paul's in Marfa, will be down for Good Friday service at 5pm and Easter Sunday service at 5pm. All Welcome.
Originally from Chicago, Father Mike was raised in the Jewish tradition. He took a detour along the way and has been an Episcopal priest since 1978. Father Mike has served in seven Episcopal schools in four states, the most recent being Canterbury Episcopal School in DeSoto, Texas. Fr. Mike has also served in diocesan staff positions in Chicago and served in long-time supply and Interim positions in many churches. In addition, he served as chaplain at Kennedy Airport, worked with youth in juvenile detention and various specialty camps. Additionally he has served as spiritual director, and provided spiritual mentoring for those who feel called to ordained ministry. Father Mike met his wife Susan in college and they have been married for 44 years. Susan has a Masters degree in learning differences. She has worked one on one with students from kindergarten to college. They have two grown sons who currently live in Austin, and have two dogs named Waffles and Obadiah to fill their empty nest. Father Mike enjoys serving our Lord and is looking forward to being in beautiful West Texas.
Easter Sunday at Big Bend Church we will be having a pancake and sausage breakfast from 8:30-9-30. This will be followed by Sunday School at 10:00 and Worship at 11:00. We pray you will come and celebrate with us this most special day - The Resurrection of our Savior - Jesus Christ!

TERLINGUA RECYCLES . There will NOT be a trip this Thursday 3/29/18 into the BBNP Recycling Center. We forgot about Easter/ Passover Weekend SO the next run will be the following week - 4/5/18. Please don't meet us at the Terlingua Recycles station behind the Terlingua EMS station at 8 a.m. on the 29th unless you'd like to help us compress plastic cartons, cardboard, etc. With the continuous influx of visitors and new residents, we really need to be mindful of Stop. Drop. and Roll. i.e. STOP - if a bin is full; DROP - is there anything you can do about it if bins at capacity (hint: take it with you and come back the following week) ?; ROLL - pack tighter and add your items if room permits, or roll away until the next Tuesday or Wednesday, before the next (THURSDAY) haul into the park. .We would LOVE your assistance the following Thursday as we take an already to-capacity haul. Thanks and happy GREEN Spring. If you've got questions about recycling, where volunteers are needed, who's on first etc., please call 830.739.6986. Thanks!!!
