"Singing in Community" Peace Christian Church @ Mahomet
First Sunday each month at 4PM
There is something special that happens when hymns are sung 'in community.' There is a voice contributed by each person that rises up from each person, and yet when music is good, another element begins to swirl in the mix. Something shifts, and the song becomes more than just me, more than the individuals singing. The song becomes itself, alive and real and more than the sum of its parts. At the heart of a good song, we still see and recognize something shared and human in one another, which gives us hope.

GROUNDWATER UPDATE
The Central Texas Groundwater Conservation District (CTGCD) is holding a second public meeting to evaluate the potential establishment of a groundwater management zone in the Briggs, Oakalla, and NE Burnet County area for the Trinity aquifer. Five Stakeholder Committee meetings were held between May and July to gain perspectives on the formation of a management zone.
The Stakeholder Committee consisted of local property owners that included goat and cattle ranchers, business owners, an environmental engineer, an RV park developer, a Master Naturalist, a Firefly representative, and a custom home builder. The upcoming public meeting will deliver the Stakeholder Committee recommendations to the public. It is an opportunity to ask questions of the
CTGCD and provide feedback. The meeting is open to all residents, stakeholders, and interested parties in the Briggs, Oakalla, Watson, and Joppa areas and other portions of NE Burnet County.
• When: Tuesday September 30, 2025 at 4:00 pm
• Where: Oakalla Community Center, 29011 Ranch to Market Rd 963, Oakalla.
