Serving Christ in the

Hill Country for

more than 100 years.

Many of you are aware that I was scheduled to begin a three-

month sabbatical on November 1. That plan has changed.

Instead, on November 1 I will embark on a three week

pilgrimage which will take me to Israel, Germany, and

England. I will return to the pulpit on December 1 to begin our

Advent journey together.

I will be posting pictures, videos, and reflections about my journey on my social

media accounts. If you don’t do social media, I will also be posting on my website:

brettwcoe.com.

While I won’t be with you physically during the month of November, we should

always remember that when we gather at Table, we gather not only with those

in the room with us, but also with those gathered at Table in every time and

place. So come to the table, and I will meet you there.

Grace and Peace,

Brett
