Greetings!
Join us Wednesday, October 31 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. for this year's Trunk or Treat. Go trunk to trunk for treats in our church parking lot, ride the trackless train, enjoy some Kona Ice and food trucks, and much more! Bring your family, friends, and neighbors!
Want to enjoy the fun even more? Participate by handing out candy! All you need to do is decorate your trunk or back of your truck to make it fun when the children visit your car and bring chairs so you can sit by your car. If you plan to be in costume, we ask that it remains church-appropriate and kid-friendly. Sign up now by clicking here!
For more details, contact me at jmedved@fmconroe.org.
I hope to see you all there!

Director of Children's Ministries at First Methodist Conroe

October 28th is Consecration Sunday and the culmination of our stewardship focus. It is a day for us to look ahead with joy and great anticipation - and we hope everyone will be here that Sunday for worship and a special celebration meal. Your RSVP is important for our planning that day, so please make note of the link below where you can sign up (if you have not already).
Our 2019 stewardship emphasis is called Live Generously. This perspective on generosity is based on the biblical philosophy of the need of the giver to give for his or her own spiritual development, rather than on the need of the church to receive. Giving unselfishly is an act of discipleship. This series will encourage us toward generous living in response to the question, "What percentage of my income is God calling me to give?"
During morning worship on Consecration Sunday (October 28) - at each of our THREE WORSHIP SERVICES [9:30 a.m. The Table & 11:00 a.m. Traditional (both in the Sanctuary) and 11:00 a.m. CelebraciĆ³n (in the Chapel)] - we will ask our attendees and members to make their financial commitments to our vision of making disciples by pursuing Jesus through holiness of heart and life.
Every member and attendee can take the opportunity to complete an Estimate of Giving Card during worship that morning. We are asking everyone who worships at First Methodist Conroe to attend, even if you do not plan on completing a card. During morning worship our guest leader, Dr. Elijah Stansell, will give us opportunity to make commitments as a confidential act of worship.
A catered celebration luncheon will follow each worship service. One seating at 10:30 a.m. following The Table service and one seating at 12:00 p.m. following the Traditional and CelebraciĆ³n services.
Again, your attendance is greatly appreciated, and your RSVP is of great importance.
We look forward to celebrating with you on October 28th!

Parenting Through the Phases
A 6-week small group experience
Parents- you are invited to a new group for parents of kids from birth through 12th grade! For those of you who are parents, you know one thing-your kids are always changing. From newborn to twelfth grade, there is always something new in their development or some new challenge they are facing. So how do we make the most of each developmental phase in a kid's life? How do we parent in a way that helps our kids feel known and supported? How can we anticipate some of the challenges they will face?
In mid-October we are launching Parenting Through The Phases. This is an inspiring 6-week small group study that will help you make the most of the developmental phase your child or teen is in right now.
- Groups for babies-6th grade will meet on Thursday nights at 6:30pm in the Upper Room
- Groups for Jr. High and Sr. High will meet on Sunday nights at 5:30pm in the Wesley room
