I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! If your calendar looks anything like mine for the month of December, it’s already getting filled up with all sorts of parties, commitments and to-dos for the Christmas season. With so much busyness this time of year, it’s easy to loose sight of the reason for the season!
That’s why I’m excited for our Tiding & Tinsel Christmas Celebration happening this Saturday from 4:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. This is not meant to be one more event to attend, but it’s our hope that this will be a joyous time of fellowship and celebration as a church and a time to focus our hearts on Christ’s coming so we can be more ready to receive him on Christmas.
Here’s a list of activities and ways you can join in on the festivities this Saturday:
4:00-5:15 PM
-
Candy Churches and Pictures with Santa - Gym. This is a family favorite at FMC. While you wait for your picture time, make a candy church and other Advent crafts in the gym. To sign-up to get your family’s picture taken with Santa, click here.
-
Adult Service Project - Wesley Room. We’ll be assembling gift bags for our homebound and assisted living members. No sign-up necessary. Just show up to help.
-
Youth Decorating Party - The Upper Room. For students grade 6-12th and their parents.
5:30-6:30 PM
-
Carols Around the Bonfire - Outdoor Worship Area. Everyone will end the night together singing Christmas carols, roasting s’mores and enjoying hot chocolate. If it rains, we’ll move to the chapel.
As you can see, this fun event has something for everyone. You don't want to miss it, so we hope to see you there!
Blessings,
Bryan Moore

Christmas Calling
Week of December 11
At First Methodist Conroe, we have many long-time members of our congregation that are no longer able to join us in person. Many are homebound or in assisted living, relying on others to help care for them. Sadly, the holidays can be a lonely time. If you feel called to serve this holiday season, we’re looking for volunteers to help deliver Christmas gift bags to our homebound during the week of December 11.
Gift bags will already be prepared and ready for you to pick up on Sunday, December 11. Bags can be picked up starting at 9:00 a.m. in Conference Room 101 (across from the Café). Help us to call upon these church members and deliver a little joy and holiday spirit.
Sign up by clicking the button below. For questions or additional information, please reach out to Kellie Taglioli, Director of Caring Ministries at (936) 756-3395 ext. 135 or by email at kellie@fmconroe.org.
