I'm new, so forgive my post if it seems out of place. We live in Tyler and we would be coming 31 to 175, so we would be the opposite direction. I tried doing Google Maps, but Combine road does not seem to come to 175 according to the map. Should I be looking for a different road if we come from the east?

I do not know the area at all and I have only been anywhere near the area once in 20 years, so help would be appreciated.

Here's a slice of the map I was looking at and Combine road sems to end on South Watson St. in Kaufman.



Thanks in advance for any help here.

The exit for the church is the FM 1389 exit. Although, in order to get to the church you will need to continue to the Malloy Bridge exit and follow the service road back to the east to get to the church. The church is on a one-way service road and cannot be reached from FM 1389.

FYI, I emailed Dr. Stone as soon as I saw this and he was kind enough to reply quickly. I am on the waiting list - apparently I wasn't fast enough!!
