Spiritual Direction with Rev. Callie Candee
Christians have sought out silent prayer retreats for centuries; driven by a hun ger for closer communion with God, we choose times of silence, of meditation of Scripture, to hear God more clearly and to follow Jesus’ invitation to 'come away with me to a quiet place and rest.' In our ever too busy world, such an invitation is a blessing, as we enter stillness, reflection upon God’s Word, and open ourselves to hearing more fully God’s response to us. Rev. Callie Candee is offering one-on-one Spiritual Direction sessions for our congregation. She can be reached at CallieCandee@yahoo.com.
"Through the Bible in One Year"
by Alan Stringfellow
The series of “Through the Bible in One Year” will begin again on Sunday, August 30th, at 4:00 p.m. Classes will last one hour. The series will be led by Frank Denton, using a workbook by Alan Stringfellow (provided at no charge to participants). This very well received program was just completed by about 25 participants this past June. Several have indicated they intend to repeat the program. You are encouraged to visit with someone who has completed the program for their recommendation. As in the past, this program is open to the public as well as church members, or those from other denominations who might want to attend, so feel free to invite a friend.
This series will demonstrate how each book of the Bible is connected and re lates to the other, in both the New as well as Old Testament. The unfolding drama of the coming of the Messiah, which comes together as a finely woven piece of cloth. Open to all ages, whether a Bible student or just getting started, all are welcome. No cost, no tests!
Please put your name on the sign-up sheet located in the church office so that enough workbooks can be ordered. We look forward to seeing you and begin ning this exciting journey.
We Welcome New Members
Zach, Madison & Michael Matthews, Pat & Sandy Gilbert, Casey, and Courtney & Cade Smith (L to R)

Children's Church & Sunday School
Beginning May 24th (with the summer schedule), Children's Sunday School and Children's Church will take a break for the summer, allowing our volunteer teachers an opportunity to enjoy their summer vacation time. They will resume after Rally Day in the fall. In the meantime, we do have a Children's Corner in the Sanctuary and children will have a lesson and activity during the Sunday School hour, in the nursery, with Ms. Linda and Ms. Amber. Contact Dena Sowden with any questions at DSowden@FPCConroe.Org

Prayer List Updates:
Please help us keep the list updated. Your assistance is appreciated.
Wear Your Name Badges!
To help Rev. Saathoff and his wife, Katy, get to know us easier, members are encouraged to wear their name badges on Sunday, September 15, and subsequent Sundays as well.
In case you’ve lost your badge or need a replacement, new badges with magnetic backings have been printed and are available in the narthex. Please see Pat Hudson if you have any questions.
Also, all church members are asked to wear their name badges when visiting FPC and/or PDS. Anyone that does not have a badge should stop at the FPC office and get one before entering any other area of the building. While this may take a little extra time, it is necessary that we provide a safe environment for our school children, teachers and staff members. We appreciate your under standing.
