When Bishop David Sanders, Sr., of Temple of Faith Church in Port Lavaca, envisioned his congregation, he saw pews filled with different peoples of various skin tones and ethnicity, but it took some time to build it into the multicultural membership it has today.
Sanders, and his wife, co-pastor Judith Sanders, both of Port Lavaca, along with their team of ministers, preach to blacks, whites and Hispanics each Wednesday and Sunday at the church, located at 419 N. Colorado St.
“We are very diversified,” Judith said.
The church’s roots are African-American, when in 1930 Alice Clay came to Port Lavaca from Chicago to visit relatives, but she found no Pentecostal church in the area. Clay’s relatives’ home became the center for her ministry, known as the Pentecostal Church of Christ. With a pastor, Clay moved the church into a tin building on Benavides and Cypress streets, and eventually into a wood frame building on Nueces and Cypress Streets.
David became the church’s pastor and Judith its co-pastor in 1985 and changed
the church name to Temple of Faith. The church moved to its present location in 1995.
“I’ve been in the church all my life.” David said. “My mother raised us to take care of the pastors. I cleaned the church, I cut the grass and I shined the pastor’s shoes as a kid.”
So has Judith. David entered the ministry in 1981. He was the minister of music and choirs for the Texas State Council of the Pentecostal Assemblies of the World, Inc. in San Antonio. He then became Sunday school superintendent, pastor, district elder and now bishop. Judith’s father was a pastor
in Michigan and then in San Antonio, where the couple met. He is the executive secretary to the Texas State Council, the Gulf Coast region, and she is the executive administrator for the council.
The couple, who has been married 52 years, enjoy leading the church together in the apostolic doctrine.
“Everyone who is Pentecostal is not apostolic. In other words, we believe in one God, and we believe in baptism in Jesus’s name,” David said.
“We love it. It works great,” Judith said of their pastoral partnership.
“Sometimes I throw
her the microphone when preaching and she will pick it right up,” he said.
At times the message is clear, but the sermon’s theme can change, he said.
“It’s our life. We love it,” David said.
“I don’t think we would do anything else,” Judith said. “We also volunteer at the hospital together. He has for five years, and I am going on three years.”
The couple feels that leading the church together provides the congregation with variety.

Karly Critendon is hoping others can help make her dreams come true.
The Calhoun High School student recently entered the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo’s Rodeo Rockstar competition. Critendon needs votes to move on to make it to the next round of competition.
“For this contest, I had to submit a video of me singing, just whatever song I wanted, and then I had to submit it through YouTube and through Facebook,” Critendon said.
Voting began last month and continues through Sunday. If Critendon makes it into the top 10 contestants, she will have an opportunity to win a variety of prizes including session time in a recording studio.
“The top 10 people that get the top 10 most votes out of everyone, they go onto Houston and they perform live in front of people,” Critendon said. “And then there are three judges and the three judges will judge you and whoever wins that – they’ll only have one winner I think –
but the ultimate winner, they get $1,500, a belt buckle. We ride in a parade and we sing at the parade, too, and then we record.
“That’s the biggie,” she said about recording in a studio. “That’s the one I really want to do because if the right people hear me, it could get me somewhere.”
To vote, a person must have a Facebook page. Critendon posted a public link on her Facebook page that takes people to the voting website. From there, people can click on the ‘Vote Here for a Youth Entry-Ages 16 to 21’ button. People can cast a vote once per hour.
“So, if they type in my name of Facebook, they can go to my page and there should be a post with the link, so they can access it,” Critendon said. “As soon as they click on that, I should be the very first one on the page, and there should be a post with a link that they can access. As soon as they click on that, I should be the very first video.”
Critendon said she has had many people wish her luck and encourage her to follow her
dream.“I have had so many great
people, and I don’t know all of these people, and they’ve been sharing these posts on Facebook about coming to vote for me,” she said. “I feel loved. It’s a bunch of people.”
Critendon heard about the competition from a friend, and with the encouragement from friends and family, she decided to enter the competition. To do so, Critendon had to upload a video of herself singing to YouTube.
“I was actually not going to do this contest,” Critendon said. “The weekend before the video was due, one of our friends she had told me about the contest and really wanted me to enter. She said, ‘I really think you can win, and I really hope you check out this contest.’ I kind of looked into it, but I wasn’t really concerned because at the time, I was getting ready to go to all state for choir. I was the only one going from Calhoun, so there was another place I was representing Calhoun. It was a lot of work, so I was

Those in need of continuing education units for pesticide applicators will have the opportunity to get four hours of credit this week.
The Texas AgriLife Extension Service in Calhoun County will be offering pesticide applicator holder CEUs Thursday, Feb. 5, and participants will have the opportunity to gain up to four CEU hours, said Stephen Biles, extension agent for integrated pest management.
The presentations will begin at 8 a.m. and last until noon at the Calhoun County Extension building’s auditorium, which is located at 186 County Road 101 in Port Lavaca. To get credit, participants must show up on time, Biles said.
“We’re starting at 8 a.m. If they want to get the 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. hour, they need to be there about 10 minutes before 8 a.m. They need to be there the entire time to get credit,” Biles said.
Cost for the course is $10 per person. People can stay for however many hours they need, Biles said. The class will be done through video presentations, he added.
“Most license holders need to renew by the end of February,” Biles said. “That’s why we’re giving them the opportunity to get their CEUs now.”

Phoenix Risen can be
spotted pushing a cart along Highway 35.
On top of her cart sits her dog, Kike, which is
pronounced “key-kay” and on the side of her cart is a sign in bright colors that reads, “Walking 3,500+ miles for
peace in joy and gratitude every step with love.”
“My sign is like magic,” Risen said. “Just the words that I use, ‘love,’ ‘peace,’ ‘joy,’ ‘gratitude,’ people are so drawn to it. They want to talk about this stuff, and here in the United States, we don’t talk about love. We talk about what there is to fear, problems—all the time we’re focused on problems.
“As soon as you start talking about how did I find peace, and that’s what I’m doing on this journey, I’m just opening myself up. This is my journey. I walk for my peace because I know that when I have peace in myself, I have peace outside. I can’t make peace on earth, but I can make peace in my world. People are just so happy to talk about peace. It just blows my mind.”
Risen, a Massachusetts native, began her journey approximately six months ago in the Mexican state of Jalisco. She had traveled to Mexico several years prior due to poor health.
“I started in Ajijic, Jalisco, Mexico, which is in the southwest corner of
Jalisco. I have been walking since Aug. 3. The reason I started walking is because I’ve been terribly ill, gravely ill for over eight years, close to nine years, and I had an autoimmune disorder that led to series of serious illnesses, including cancer and an aneurism,” Risen said. “I went to Mexico because I couldn’t afford to live on disability in Massachusetts to keep my house. I was using nutritional healing, and I couldn’t afford organic things.
“While I was in Mexico all alone, I started to do a lot of inner work because I was all alone. All my friends were in Massachusetts, so I just had time to meditate a lot and pray a lot. For me, prayer is like dialog with the divine, and meditation is quiet, being quiet so I’m ready to listen so I was able to hear.”
As time went on, Risen said she began to process the events of her life.
“Stuck in my home and my bed, I began to understand how I didn’t have peace with myself,” Risen said. “I had to

look at my immune system, my own thing that is supposed to protect me, is attacking me. What is the metaphor for that? What is that? I realized that inside myself, I was always attacking myself I was always critical of myself, judgmental. I always felt a lot of guilt and a lot of shame and stuff, so I started doing all this inner work.
“What happened which was a great surprise to me is that when I finally had peace with myself, forgave myself and came to accept myself, I suddenly had peace with everyone else. I no longer had any arguments with anybody else. I no longer needed to forgive anybody else in my life, and that was pretty extreme because I had a mother and father who had rejected me as a baby, so it was like all of a sudden, I didn’t need to forgive them anymore. It just…,” she said, searching for the words. “It was, and I could accept it, and I could be grateful for everything that had happened to me.”
In her acceptance of herself and her life, Risen said she began to find a love for others.
“When I started to love myself, finally, when I found self love, I suddenly fell in love with the world. I was just loving every single person I met. I understood my own divinity,” Risen said. “Inside of us all there’s a little piece of God. God made us all. God, for me, is infinite consciousness and infinite love. I use the word God because that’s the word we all agree on, and when I realized it was inside of me, I also knew it was inside of everybody else.
“So, what happened, at
some point in this process, I understood how I had made myself sick with all of these things I was doing, and when I stopped doing them, suddenly my incurable illness, my cancer, my aneurysm—and there’s nothing you can do to cure an aneurysm—it all just went away, miraculously, so I wanted to celebrate. I had suddenly, after close to nine years gravely ill, I had a new opportunity to live. I had a new life, so I wanted to celebrate, so I wanted to walk my talk.”
Risen began to contemplate the next phase of her life.
“After all those years ill, I didn’t have any money. My house in Massachusetts had gone into such decay that I couldn’t live in it, I didn’t really know what to do with myself, but I did have my feet. I did have my body,” Risen said. “I didn’t know how to explain what I had learned at that time. I’m getting better at it all the time, but I didn’t know how to explain what had happened to me and what I had come to understand—that you can see the divine in everyone, and when you understand it’s in yourself then you understand it’s in everyone.
“So, I basically I didn’t know what to do and then I had a goofy idea that I would walk, and it was such a goofy idea that it made perfect sense, so I sold what I had left to buy the equipment. Like six weeks after I decided, ‘I think I’ll just walk back to Massachusetts.’
“I call it walking home, but for me Massachusetts is not necessarily home. Mexico is somewhat of a home, too, but I think the earth is my
home, like everywhere I am is home now, so I’m just walking around looking at my home, basically this beautiful world and meeting all my family, which is everyone.”
Risen estimated that her entire journey to Massachusetts will take about a year. She said she walks an average of about 10 miles per day depending on weather and other conditions, and she maps her journey through the use of satellite technology.
When it is time for her and Kike to rest for the night, she typically sleeps in a tent. Risen guessed she will be in the Calhoun County area for about a week. She entered Calhoun County last week.
“I have camping equipment with me, and in Mexico that was not so much of a problem except when I was going through the jungle or when I was going through the desert and it was hard to find a place to camp,” Risen said. “But here in Texas since I’ve gotten in the United States everything is fenced. It’s been very difficult. And in Mexico, people would invite me in to stay with them, so I frequently would stay with families. As I was walking along they would have me come with them. If I had money, I would rent a room. People would give me a little bit of money, and it adds up and then I’ll have enough to rent a hotel or whatever.”
“Since I’ve been here I’ve been forced to camp alongside the road frequently because sometimes there are no people and there are no motels every 10, 12, 15 miles that I can walk in a day, so I just pitch my tent. The funny thing is I’m getting pretty comfortable pitching my tent alongside the road,”
she said with a smile on her face. “At first I thought, ‘This is horrible,’ but now I’m like, ‘Whatever. It’s all right.’ I just rest for the night and then I get up and go.”
Throughout her journey, Risen has met many people and expressed her gratitude for them and the entire experience.
“I have been walking for over five months, close to six months now and I’ve met thousands of beautiful, loving, kind, generous, incredible, good people, and I’ve had almost no bad experiences,” she said. “When I have had bad experiences it’s been great for me because it has taught me the power of love to transform things. Whenever I’ve had a conflict or whatever, if I can go inside and if I can come at it with a loving, compassionate energy, I can transform anything into a good situation.
“At one point I had a man, I’m not sure what he wanted to do, but it was pretty horrible, whatever he wanted to do, and I just refused to be afraid. I just refused to be afraid, and I just sent him love, sent him love, and he started this situation where he was going to attack me, and by the end, we were shaking hands. We were friends. The power of love is way more powerful than any weapon.”
Risen’s journey and story are documented on her website at http://www.phoenixrisen.us/.
“It’s been the bomb,” Risen said about her trip. “It has been the most awesome thing I’ve ever done in my life, the most awesome experience. I never could have imagined how beautiful it would be.”

arreSTS
officials make 16 arrestsvariety, but it solidifies unity in their leaders and they love it,” Judith said.
David said this is never more apparent than in bible study.
“She (Judith) will ask a question that maybe they were afraid to ask. She will act as almost if to say, ‘Prove this’ or ‘Prove that,’” he said.
The church has a total of 65 members. The congregation was all black when the couple took to the pulpit in the mid 80s. To this day, they remember their first non-black member, a Hispanic woman.
“He has said it from day one that he wanted a multicultural church,” Judith said. “It has really grown from there. I think people were really apprehensive about coming because it was named like a black church. But finally, someone came and said they didn’t care. They liked how they felt when they came here.”
It was for this reason that David changed the name of the church from Pentecostal Church of Christ to Temple of Faith.
“My church in San Antonio was called Faith Temple, so I just changed it around. This church is about faith,” not color, he said.
The congregation began to diversify after the church moved to its present location. This diversification required the couple to change their ministry.
“We have Hispanics as part of our praise team. They are not just here. They are active members, and they hold positions,” Judith said. “We have a Hispanic deacon.”
The couple feels segregation in the pews stifles a church’s growth.
“In 1954, when they got ready to integrate they started in the schools, but they should have started in the churches,” David said. “If they had started in the churches, our hearts would have changed. I don’t think it would have been forced. The school began in the church. It was church first and then it became school, called Sunday school. I believe they started in the wrong
spot, and now they are still struggling. Once you change the heart, you got them.”
David feels diversity enables the congregation to grown as Christians.
“I think you learn so much from one another with so many cultures. You begin to appreciate one another, so many of the struggles that they go through. They understand the culture of black people, of Hispanic people and white people,” he said.
Sunday is broken into two services: the Sacred College at 9:30 a.m. and the regular service at 11 a.m. The 6:30 p.m. Wednesday service is known as “Teach and Eat,” which includes a bible study and a meal.
“I teach while they eat
spiritually and naturally,” David said. “We started it a year and a half ago.”
The church motto is “This is the end of your search for a friendly church. Where everybody is somebody and Jesus Christ is all.” The couple would like to extend this invitation to the public and see the congregation reach 300 members.
“For those of us who are here, we would like that our lives would cause someone else to say they are getting blessed and I need to be blessed,” Judith said. “We want to be a blessing to the community, especially with our troubled children. We deal a lot with troubled marriages, drugs. We are here for all of those. We don’t turn anybody away.”

putting all my time into that.”In addition to preparing
for the state choir competition Critendon added she was feeling under the weather.
“That whole week, I was so sick. I was having a bad cold. I didn’t have a voice to talk with, let alone sing, and I was telling my mom that I have to save my voice for state, I can’t worry about this contest right now. She pushed me and pushed me to do it, so finally, I like, ‘Whatever, I’ll do the video,’” she said with a laugh.
“If you go look at my video, I look horrible. It kind of hurt to sing, too, but I made myself do it. It doesn’t sound the best. I sang what I sang at Breaker Beauty. It’s by Adelle and Bonnie Ray. It’s called, ‘I can’t make you love me,’” she added.
With the help of a friend, Critendon recorded her video near the CHS auditorium and uploaded it to YouTube.
“Then, we had troubles getting it uploaded, too. We were worried we weren’t going to get it uploaded before
midnight on the very last day. We did it on the very last day it was due,” Critendon said. “It made it though, and I’m glad it made it through, even though it’s not the best video and I could do way better and I could look way better. It’s what’s on there, and it’s what’s going to get me there.”
Critendon, along with the other contestants, will find out Feb. 13 if she will move on in the competition. If so, Critendon will perform for judges March 10 with the final round of competition March 17.
“Between Feb. 8 and Feb. 13 there’s nothing we can do. It’s just a matter of waiting. From now until Feb. 8 we can do a lot of voting,” Critendon said.

The Calhoun varsity girls basketball team kept the momentum rolling Friday night when it defeated Rosenberg Terry 37-29 to move to 7-0 in district 24-5A.
Calhoun (21-9, 7-0) once again used a stifling defense to hold the Lady Rangers (12-11, 3-4) to under 30 team total points. Terry jumped out to an early 4-0 first quarter lead but the Sandies answered right back. Abby Hroch, Bryanna Delgado and Tishona White all got on the board in the first quarter to build a slim 9-7 Calhoun lead headed into the second quarter.
The teams traded baskets until midway through the second quarter when the Sandies started to stretch the lead on Terry. Five points scored in the quarter by Abby Hroch helped to build the 19-13 halftime lead for Calhoun.
Terry cut the lead to three 21-18 early in the third but Alexis Alvarado hit two clutch three pointers in the quarter to give the Sandies breathing room. Calhoun took a 31-22 lead
into the fourth and outscored the Lady Rangers 12-9 in the quarter. The Sandies struggled in the fourth quarter as they committed eight turnovers, but even with the Lady Rangers extra possessions the Sandies lock down defense held them to only seven points.
Abby Hroch posted a double-double with 11 points and 12 rebounds. Alexis Alvarado scored eight points in the win and Tishona White and Brandy Escobar combined for 12 points.
The Sandies remain alone atop the district 24-5A standings in first place. The team hosted Foster Tuesday night at the Calhoun gymnasium and only has two district games left. The Sandies take on the Lady Wildcats in Angleton Friday night and host George Ranch Feb. 10 in the final regular season game of the season.

The Calhoun varsity boys soccer team fell to Sealy Friday night at Sandcrab Stadium 3-2.
The Sandcrabs went down 2-0 within the first 15 minutes of play but never stopped fighting. After being down, Jose Vargas was fouled and Hsa Say made the penalty kick to make the score 2-1 at the halftime break.
“With Sealy playing a
similar style to Gonzales the boys adjusted to display some moments of great soccer,” said head coach Ausencio Pereida.
Late in the game Sealy scored on a free kick due to a foul at the top of the box, but the Sandcrabs continued to fight. Jose Morales took a shot from 60 yards out to pull Calhoun within one goal of tying the game 3-2. The Sandcrabs continued to fight but Sealy stopped a game
tying shot in the final seconds to hand the Crabs a loss.
“The momentum switched when it became a 3-2 game,” Pereida said.
“The boys played a decent game with a never give up attitude and drove and fought until the last whistle was blown,” Pereida said.
The team is 4-2-1 on the season and hosted Beeville Tuesday night and travels to Rockport to take on the Pirates Friday.

Sandcrab l i fters f inish second in Yorktown WAVE STAFF REPORT
The Calhoun varsity girls soccer team dropped a game to Sealy 3-0 Friday night.
The Sandies fell behind early in the first half 2-0 and battled hard but could not pull back from the deficit.
Head coach Robert Ramos said the team would continue to focus on defense as they move forward.
“After watching video we learn the game is every bit mental and emotional as physical,” he said.
“I think our girls can take that lesson away from these experiences and hopefully keep it from happening again. I have said it 1,000 times. If we score we may win, but if they never score we’ll never lose. We need to take more pride in our individual defending, contesting and battling for 50/50
in open space. Playing tough, smart, aggressive defense is its own reward, and the better you play defense the more offense you get to play. The less you care about playing defense the more defense you will have to play.”
The Sandies are 1-7 and hosted Beeville Tuesday at Sandcrab Stadium. The team hits the road Friday night to take on the Lady Pirates of Rockport.
Sandies fall to Sealy 3-0

By JoAnn Derson• Sometimes, despite the
cold weather outside, we’re still looking for an icy treat inside. In my family’s dessert experiments, we have come up with some doozies, but here’s one you may not have tried: If you put popsicles in the blender, the creamy result tastes just like yummy sherbet. -- JoAnn
• If your lunchbox could be fresher, here is a tip from S.W. in Texas: Spray a piece of bread with vinegar and zip it up in your lunchbox overnight to clear out smells.
• “You do not need to buy a special brush to get at high ceilings and skylights: Simply cover a broom with a pillowcase to clean cobwebs off the ceiling. To clean a skylight, cover a mop with a double layer of paper towels or newspaper, and secure with clips. Spray the paper with window cleaner and heft it up.” -- M.E. in Arkansas
• Pinprick hole in your rubber glove? Put the glove on and paint the hole with nail
polish. It will seal up a small hole, making the glove usable again.
• If you have trouble threading a needle because the fibers seem to go in all directions, here’s a tip from T.I. in Illinois: Stiffen the end of thread with hairspray before threading a needle.
• “Coat hangers as BBQ skewers? Yep, they’re good for that -- and s’more. Simply straighten and clean well. Make a ring on the end for easy handling. You might even want to save a set of them.” -- R.R. (Avoid any coated hangers, and never use a plastic hanger, only plain metal, like the kind you might get from a dry cleaners. -- JoAnn)

Maher who made the following sage observation: “Is [hunting] really a sport if you have all the equipment and your opponent doesn’t know a game is going on?”
• Just like your fingerprint, your tongue print is unique.
• Spring is traditionally considered the most popular time for weddings, but 2014 saw a spike in nuptials in mid-December. More than 13,000 couples in the U.S. tied the
knot on Dec. 13, due in large part to the fact that 12/13/14 fell on a Saturday. Anyone else who would like to marry on a number-sequential date will have a long wait; it won’t happen again until January 2, 2034.
• If you are feeling a bit chilled and cannot wait for springtime, consider this: On the planet Uranus, winter lasts for 21 years.
