June 26, 2020
Rev. Dr. Tom Gibbs
Dear members and attenders, Like you, I and the Session have been monitoring very closely the surge in COVID-19 cases in San Antonio. Though unwanted, this spike is upon our city and led the Session to meet earlier this afternoon.

Thoughts on Ahmaud Arbery, George Floyd and the Church's Response

June 03, 2020
Rev. Dr. Tom Gibbs
Last night Tara and I had the privilege of watching our third child, Lucy, walk across the stage and receive her high school diploma.

The recent, tragic deaths of Ahmaud Arbery (2/23) in ...
