Maundy Thursday Worship

Join us this Thursday,  March 28, 2024 at 7:00 pm for our Maundy Thursday Service with Rev. Kristi Blankman.
 
**Childcare provided in the Nursery. 

Join Us for Easter Morning Breakfast

Join us for breakfast on Easter Sunday, in the Family Life Center hallway, following the Easter Sunrise Service.

Continue to rejoice with your sisters and brothers-in-Christ while enjoying a home-cooked meal prepared by your Fellowship Kitchen Team.

Not only is it better than going out to a restaurant, but also the price cannot be beat!  Break fast is FREE for all. We hope you will join us. 

Flowering the Cross

The flowering of the cross represents the transition from Good Friday to Easter, from meditation on Jesus' death to joyful celebration of His resurrection. The ceremony transforms a barren cross,
a reminder of Jesus' death, into an Easter symbol,
so please feel free to bring flowers for flowering the cross on Easter Sunday.

Easter Sunday - One Great Hour of Sharing

Since 1949 Presbyterian churches world-wide have made Easter contributions to One Great Hour of Sharing, a program supporting disaster assistance for those who have suffered from natural and man-made disasters and for those who suffer from hunger worldwide.

The funds are also used to provide education and to coordinate experiences that will lead to financial independence.

Those at FPC who wish to contribute may find a “One Great Hour of Sharing” envelope on the tables at the back of the sanctuary on March 24 and on March 31 and may place the envelope and donation in the collection plate. -

Easter Sunday Communion Elements

Communion will be observed at each of our Easter services. For those with diet restrictions/concerns, we will be using gluten-free wafers for everyone.

Our 2024 flower calendar is available at the Welcome Desk if you would like to sign up for a flower dedication. The flowers always contribute nicely to our Sunday worship services,
and they are yours to take home if you so wish.

PNC Update #3

The Pastor Nominating Committee (PNC) would like to thank everyone who responded to the recent survey, which will help guide us in our search efforts. Over the next few weeks, the PNC will work on drafting the Ministry Discernment Profile, which will be uploaded to the PCUSA’s Church Leadership Connection portal. This will give us the best opportunity to find a “match” with pastors who may be interested in coming to FPC Conroe. As always, the PNC asks for the congregation’s prayers as we continue our work to find our next pastor.


Church Directory Update


Many of you have been asking about the status of the updated church pictorial directory. There was a delay in the process as the Membership committee worked to update the church’s active membership listing. Now that this is complete, we are working with the publisher to make sure the directory is published in an expedited fashion. As soon as we have a delivery date from the publisher, we will reach out to everyone who participated in the photo session. We thank you for your patience!

Are You a Music Lover?

If you enjoy making a joyful noise, and would be willing to lend your voice and your talents to the FPC music program, you are most welcome! Contact Music Director, Stephanie Cooke, at schteff3@gmail.com. She will be able to answer any questions you may have and discuss opportunities with the choir and handbells.

PDS Open Enrollment Available Now:

PDS is currently offering open enrollment. If you, or someone you know, is look ing for a quality child care program, please call the PDS office (936) 756-3990. 

Thank You From the Keathley Family

From Darlene:

“My father Flem Keathley passed away on the 5th and we had his service at the church on Wednesday the 13th. I wanted to thank the congre gation for the love and support they gave my father and my late mother, Evelyn, for so many years. They loved the church and all the wonderful people there. My mom was in the choir for years and my father volunteered in many ways as well. I was so happy to see so many familiar faces at his service and it meant so much to me that he was remembered. Thank you so much!”

4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

1 Corinthians 13:4-7.
