"Our family is excited about what God has called us to and look forward to being part of the Goldthwaite community." - Brock
MEET OUR NEW PASTOR!
BROCK BOMKAMP
About the Family
Meet Brock, his wife Claire, and daughter Jessa, who turns 1 year old on Thanksgiving Day! He and his wife both grew up in small towns and are excited to call Goldthwaite home. Brock grew up in the formerly small town of Dripping Springs, where he played high school football and was part of Young Life and his church youth group.
Ministry
It was at summer camp that Brock was first called to ministry. After high school, he was part of the Baylor football team until he stepped away to pursue God's call on his life to be a pastor. Brock comes to us from Grace Fellowship Church in Katy, TX, where he was serving as junior high director.

The women meet from 6 - 7 pm and the men meet from 8 - 9 pm. We need at least 2 women and 2 men for each session. A few have already volunteered to help and we need a few more. I will gladly answer your questions and/or meet with you to offer guidance in this needed ministry.

VOLUNTEERS & HELPERS
Help Feed the Hungry
Did you know that during deer season the Evangelism Food Pantry uses donated deer meat to feed over 100 families per month! There is usually enough meat donated to feed these families each month during the season plus one additional month. The Mills County Ministerial Association (MA) is inviting hunters to donate the deer that they harvest to feed the hungry.
The field-dressed deer may be brought to:
Wesley Head's Wild Game Processing
East Highway 84, Goldthwaite, TX 76844
325-451-4158
Troubled by someone's drinking? Al-Anon is here to help.
Monday 11:00 a.m. - Tuesdays at 5:30 p.m. - Thursdays at noon in the Steen House. Call Rhonda at 648-3101 for more information.
What Are Your Spiritual Gifts?
Are you interested in modern technology? Are you intrigued by new gadgets? Do you love working on computer programs? Then we've got a deal for you! The Technology Team is currently seeking volunteers to help run sound during church and on special occasions. You would not be responsible for running sound every week -- more on a rotating basis. The important thing is we get people trained so that when the holidays' hustle and bustle busy schedule rolls around, we will have plenty of help to call on if necessary. We will train you to run the soundboard, work on Pro Presenter 5 (the program that displays our slides used during worship services), and the video camera. If you are interested in any or all of these, please contact Laura Wilson at 325-451-4848 to discuss. We would love to have everybody's help!!!
We would like to welcome anyone interested to join our handbell choir.
No musical experience is required. We will teach you what you need to know.
There is something extremely satisfying about ringing, as a member of the choir you are a link in a beautiful musical chain. If you have questions or any interest please call Ginger Spies at 325-451-4225 or email gingerspies@gmail.com.
