The Church would like to express its appreciation for the concern shown by both individuals and other congregations far and wide. For the people that would like to help:
· Pray. Pray for Mahomet Christian Church, Burnet County, and the Country. Rev. Dr. John Davenport, pastor for both Mahomet Christian Church and First Christian Church, Bertram, has raised the concern of increased social unrest and believes the church must be an active agent for peacemaking in our world.
· Give. If you feel called to contribute finances to the rebuilding effort, donations can be sent to Mahomet Christian Church, PO Box 464, Bertram, TX 78605. You can also donate online through GoFundMe at: https://www.gofundme.com/f/rebuild-the-mohomet-christian-church
· Dream. If you have ideas on what is needed in the Mahomet Community, let us know via email: [email protected] – we will let you know when we schedule planning meetings.
· Help. At some point after the sheriff releases the “crime scene,” we will take down the remainder of the burned building. If you would like to help, let us know by email or just watch this website for an announcement.
· Worship. In the meantime we will continue to hold internet church services at 9AM each Sunday. Watch this website for details.
I need help. This money goal is arbitrary. I need help from Contractors, money manager… Scott Wall needs your support for Rebuild the Mohomet Christian Church
