Aldermen sworn in at Natalia City Council meeting
By Catherine Richard
Mike Fernandez, Samuel Smith and Selica Vera were sworn in by the City Administrator and Secretary, Nichole Bermea, for another two-year term as aldermen during Natalia’s City Council meeting on Nov. 18.
Alderman Sam Smith was nominated to serve a one-year term as mayor pro-term by Selica Vera. Smith served in this role from 2023-2024 and willingly accepted the position.
The results from the Nov. 5 general election were accepted and approved by the board.
Ruberta Vera, Laura Kay Gallagher and Brenda Fernandez were reappointed for another two-year term on the Natalia Municipal District Board of Directors.
In anticipation of the first annual Christmas Night in Natalia event on Dec. 5, Lysette Clark updated the council on the arrangements being made.
“It’s bigger than what we thought it would be,” said Clark.
The event has been met with enthusiasm and support, as 54 parade entries have been made and more than 50 vendors have signed up. MOVE.FIT.LIVE., a fitness center based in San Antonio, volunteered to begin the parade with a group run at 6:30 p.m. The school bands from Natalia and Devine will be performing for the event and the Volunteer Fire Department will be attending.
“I want to publicly thank you for stepping forward as community members,” said…

Where in the Biblewill I find…?
Matthew 5:9 “Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”
As always I pray that you are doing well so far this week. Please pray for rain as we are getting extremely dry, the last couple of showers we got dried up quickly. Are you getting into the word of God on a daily basis? Have you read your Bible today? If not why not? It only takes a few minutes to read a whole chapter. In Matthew 4:4 Jesus said: “…it is written, man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.” Don’t just read it, let’s live by it! Let us also continue to pray for our nation’s defenders and our first responders. And please pray for all those fighting cancer! Our question for the week is; “Where in the Bible will I find all men forsaking someone but God standing with him and delivering him out of the mouth of the lion?”

Answering Bible Questions with Bible Answers
Question: Why should we be thankful this Thanksgiving?
Answer: Because according to the Bible, we should be thankful in every time and season of life. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 says, “In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” The Bible doesn’t say only be thankful when everything is going well, but at all times. The only way we can truly do this is if we have Jesus Christ in our life who is the hope of glory. Colossians 1:27. With Jesus, we can see through the dark clouds of life that sometimes surround us and see that there’s hope to push on, because He’s with us, and with His help we’ll get through the storm. Philippians 4:19. So, we should be thankful in everything because the Bible says we should be and that’s more than enough reason, but most of all we should be thankful because Jesus came to this earth to save us from our sins. Sin is disobedience against God and what He’s said in His Word, the Bible. All of us have disobeyed God at one point or another, the Bible says we’re all sinners. Romans 3:23. If we tried on our own to make it to heaven, none of us would ever get there because we’re sinners. But because God loves us so much, He provided His Son to be the perfect and complete sacrifice on the cross so that all people could be saved. John 3:16-17. Jesus shed His blood so that our sins could be covered by it, He died for us so that we could live. What a gift! Now anyone who calls upon Jesus to save them will be saved. Romans 10:9-13. So, this Thanksgiving it doesn’t matter how rich or poor we are, or where we live or how old we are, we all can be very thankful for Jesus’ sacrifice for us all! While you’re sitting around the dinner table eating or watching football on tv, don’t forget to say, “Thanks be unto God for His unspeakable gift.”-2 Corinthians 9:15.
