Dear Lord, as news reports roll in this afternoon of a tornado on the ground in or near the West Brazos region, we lift our cares to you, and we trust in You for a hedge of protection around ourselves, our homes, our vehicles, and our other property.

Oh, Lord, let us remain calm and safe on this blessed day!

We trust in your goodness always, and we rest joyously in your Will today and all days!

In Jesus Holy name, we LOVE YOU Lord!

It's been a while since we've updated our website, and many have inquired about our start-up status: is the West Brazos Herald still on?

The answer is, yes!

Our inaugural eEdition in December was well received, but, well, producing it took more out out of our small crew of volunteers than we'd anticipated.

So we've been in re-grouping mode ever since, and, now, with most folks shut in by COVID 19, we're gearing up for some online meetings and training for anyone interested in doing a little Christian reporting, and writing to help keep the West Brazos region informed and encouraged in the coming days.

More details coming to the site later this week, but, for now, we just wanted to start getting the word out that West Brazos Herald is still on the move! Because our God is ALWAYS GREAT!

The West Brazos Herald is a non-profit, Bible-centered newspaper that, God willing, will begin publishing weekly serving Brazoria, Sweeny, West Columbia, and other nearby parts of southwestern Brazoria County, Texas in 2020 (Exact date dependent upon the results of our fund raising efforts.

Brazoria County is blessed with a very thorough and active public library system. And one of the many things awesome free resources our library offers is Gale Courses. And, on that note, some of us on the all volunteer staff of the West Brazos Herald are signing up for Digital Photography class to see if we can't sharpen our skills and improve the paper and website's content a little. We invite you to join us! The course asks for a 24 hour committment over 6 weeks, and it starts on January 15.

A little fellowship with your fellow students adds a little fun to any course, right? If you sign up, please leave a comment here, and we'll look for you in the class. And after we're all done with the course, everybody will have plenty of opportunity to practice some of what they've learned (and be a blessing to our local community) with some pictures we can share with the world on WestBrazosHerald.com or in one of our forthcoming printed editions!

With hundreds of online classes, career training programs, and certification prep courses, we have the professional development you need to start a new career or get your next promotion.

Missionary Seth Hester has been making the rounds across our area, catching up with friends and family and sharing some of the blessings of his time on the base an international missions group near London. The Herald wishes this blessed young man a Merry Christmas and we know many more Godly victories are in store for him upon his return to Europe.
