WE WENT OUT WITH A SPLASH!
Welcome back to Texas Loves Utah! In August 2013, our family, along with 3 other families, moved from Weatherford, Texas here to Herriman, Utah to plant a Bible-teaching church in what was formerly the largest US city without one!
On August 23rd, we celebrated our last Sunday Morning at Herriman's Recreation Center and went out with a splash! We are so thankful for the opportunity to have baptized 10 new believers that day! Please join us in praising God for providing such a beautiful facility in which to reach so many in the past almost 2 years!
PROVIDENCE!
So many of you have prayed faithfully for over a year now that God would provide a larger facility for Lifestone to meet in on Sundays mornings-one that would provide more space as we work to reach the masses of Herriman with the Truth about Jesus' love for them!
On Sunday, August 30th we met for the first time at Providence Hall High School where we have access to the gymnasium (which includes a really nice stage), cafeteria, band hall, and classroom.
We are using the gymnasium as both our
Worship Center and as a lobby for
Welcome Center, Kid's Life Registration, and Cafe.
We set up a nursery for Kid's Life
Birth-Age 3 in the band hall.
The classroom across the hall from the band hall is being used for Kid's Life Age 4-Kindergarten.
Kid's Life 1st-5th Grade sets up "camp" in the cafeteria.
GRAND OPENING!
After 3 weeks of practicing setup/tear down and working out kinks in our new facility, we are excited and ready for our official Grand Opening this Sunday September 20th! 10,000 mailers have gone out to our community members and our Lifestone family has been inviting everyone we know to come check us out at PHHS!

Thank YOU!
Thank you for your constant prayers for our church plant. Because of your prayers, encouragement, and support, 30 individuals have come to know the Jesus of the Bible and shared their new faith publicly through Believer's Baptism! In a city that had never had a Bible based church 2 years ago, about 100 people gather weekly to worship God together, 5 groups of people meet in homes weekly to study His Word, and every day new believers are sharing their faith with friends, families, neighbors and co-workers. We believe His work here has only begun. We feel so privileged to be here and witness this amazing harvest!
Please pray that God continues the work He's begun here. Pray that the life change in our new believers is evident to everyone around them. Pray that they are able to share their new faith with confidence-but also with gentleness and patience as many here have never even heard the Good News of the Bible!
"Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect." 1 Peter 3:15
