Do Not Put Your Trust in Man But Jesus
A sermon contrasts false reliance on people with true faith. It cites Living Psalms 146:3-4 and Acts 4:12 to warn that human leaders fail and salvation comes only through Jesus. The text uses parables of a boy’s fall, a prisoner, a pauper, and a shipwrecked sailor to underline dependence on spiritual救.

Mission memories mark Eastman’s 71st birthday and 50 years since escape
The Rev. Frederic J. Eastman, vicar of St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, will turn 71 and mark 50 years since fleeing China during the communist takeover. He arrived in Shanghai in 1926 for a three year teaching assignment, witnessing upheaval, poverty, cholera, and shifting politics before escaping with Chinese guards and an American destroyer. He recalls hopes for democracy and criticizes missed opportunities, while continuing ministry across five Trans-Pecos churches and describing mission as outreach wherever Christ is not.
