August 12, 2024, A note from Robert Noland:
A lot has happened since you were last at the church in Mahomet!
o The church burned down.
o We have since re-purposed the Tabernacle into our “new” church building that is acoustically just right for a singing.
In the old days, the nearby churches would join us for our “Singings.” Perhaps you would like to join us for a Singing in our “new” facility. We hope to sing the First Thursday evening each month starting in September.
Tommy Jones, the talented music teacher for the Killeen Public Schools will lead the singing.

Saturday, May 11 - Yard Sale at Briggs Community Center, 185 Loop 308, 8am - 1pm
Commissioner’s Corner- by Damon Bierle: Lots of things are happening in the Precinct. I would like to highlight the new partnership between Burnet County and the Briggs Community Center Board of Directors. A year of planning led to BCCI turning over the Community Center and Ag Building to Burnet County. We are excited about the future of the Community Center. After the May 28 runoff election, maintenance crews will begin restoration to enhance and improve the building.
We don’t have a timeline yet, but will work to get new windows, a solid roof, and reinforce beams so the second story can be used again. Various upgrades will be made while keeping the touches and charm of the building intact. Once restoration is complete the BCCI Board will be able to rent out the facility as was done in the past. Community events can use the building and the grounds for meetings, gatherings,
reunions, and other functions. We look forward to a grand re-opening for everyone to attend.
