Children, Youth & Music Sunday Schedule

Sunday Morning

Something New!
Starting this week, children will experience their own special food & fellowship together upstairs in the Children's Wing. If they are attending Sunday School and Children's Choir, they will go upstairs (2nd floor) with Caroline and Analisa directly after worship to make sure our activities start on time. Parents, you are always welcome to join and supervise your children in the Children & Music Wing, but you can also choose to enjoy a childless time of coffee and conversation in McNees Hall and the Labyrinth Room. Youth can choose to stay in McNees Hall to socialize alongside their families as well.

Church News

This Puente Pals Ministry is SEW much fun!

Puente Pals dolls are made from refurbished t-shirts – to give to migrant children who are passing through San Antonio. We have templates and instructions available, but what is most important is to have dolls that migrant children can carry with them and use as comfort and pillows as they travel to their new life.

WE MEET THIS SUNDAY from 11-1pm in the Labyrinth Room. All abilities are welcome. Stop by...we'll show you what to do!

Churchwide Cleanup Day
TOMORROW, Saturday, September 17th

Let’s make Travis Park Church shine again!

We have a great crew signed up already, but we could still use 2-3 more volunteers to sign up with Pastor Cynthia to help clean McNees Hall and the Sanctuary. There will be breakfast!
