History

The Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) was founded in the early 1800’s in the United States. The founders envisioned only one Christian Church, modeled on the New Testament, to be a witness for both religious freedom and the unity of all Christians. The church grew rapidly across the American frontier, in part because it shared many values of the early settlers. The Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) now includes nearly 4,000 congregations.

History of the First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in Burnet:

In June 1883, land was purchased and the first building was erected in 1884 or 1885. In 1910, the building burned and eventually the church disbanded. The congregation reorganized in 1950, purchased the present lot in 1951 and dedicated the sanctuary (now the fellowship hall) on July 27, 1952. Sunday School rooms were added in 1957 and the present sanctuary was dedicated December 14, 1975. An extensive remodel was undertaken in 2005.

Pastor's Pen
 

It has been way too long since I have written a newsletter. I thought I would write when I got back from vacation. I had a wonderful trip to New Orleans and Panama City. I came back refreshed but not efficient. I was forming an article about Freedom for the 4th of July, but I woke up to a changed world the next day - flooding, shelter in place, people missing, people dying. Today, July 9, there is a big trailer in our church parking lot buzzing with volunteers from the ARK of the Highland Lakes (formerly Highland Lakes Crisis Network). This organization was born out of the big flood in Marble Falls in 2018. Today they are providing 3 meals a day, water, clean up buckets, and a lot of other emergency stuff. The ARK paid for an electrician to install a 50 amp outlet so we can provide electricity for the refrigerators on their trailer. I am so blessed to watch the hands and feet of Christ at work and to know that we are a part of His work. Certainly, we sit in ashes and grieve with those who have lost everything including those they love. At times like these, there really are no words … just the silence of being present. Jesus said the world would know we belong to Him by the love we share. May we continue to love often, long, and well.

I am thankful to be your pastor!

Teresa
