Dear FMC Family,  

A few months ago I felt a stirring by God to go back to full time teaching. I have loved my eighteen months as the Children’s Director, but have missed being in the classroom with middle schoolers. A door opened for a teaching position at Peet Jr. High, and after much prayer and discernment, I have accepted. My last Sunday as the Children’s Director will be August 28. While bittersweet, I am excited to work for Conroe ISD and leave FMC with immense gratitude for the care and encouragement you have blessed me with. I am very proud of the work and growth that has been done in Children’s Ministry! I plan to remain very involved in events, VBS, camp and on Sunday mornings. I am also thankful that Rev. Bryan Moore will serve in an interim role as Children's Director while a search is conducted for your next leader! I am thankful for the opportunity to have served alongside you all and covet your prayers as my family and I step into this next chapter. 

Peace, 

Jean Irving

John Wayne, Lauren, and the kids have officially moved to the area and are preparing for a July 1 ministry start date and a July 2 baby arrival! Please continue to pray for the McMann’s through these new beginnings. You may also send any words of welcome via email at johnwayne@fmconroe.org. We will have an official meet and greet for John Wayne and his family after the baby arrives as well as an opportunity for everyone to assist in welcoming the new little one so be on the lookout for more information!

The fun is heating up at FMC with exciting summer opportunities for your children and family, youth mission trips, and ways to make a difference in our community.

We are hosting senior high youth and adults from Richmond Faith UMC. They will be serving in our local community from July 10 - 15. We are in need of church members to open their homes and provide showers at the end of the day for one of the work teams that will consist of 4-5 youth and 1 adult. These team members will bring their own toiletry items and towels. This is a great way for our church to support these youth and adults and show appreciation for the hard work that they will be doing throughout the week. If you are able to help, please contact Ruth Ann Person at ruthann@fmconroe.org.

Big House Middle School Mission Trip to Bay City, TX. Kids will be hosted at FUMC Bay City. Big house is from 6th-8th grade. Contact Adrian Lucio at adrian@fmconroe.org for more information.
