Greetings!
Summer is here which means you can count on two things... hot Texas weather and exciting events planned for the Children's and Student Ministries at Fellowship of Montgomery.  Be sure to scroll down to each section and read the updates from our incredible team of leaders. 
 
Sunday, June 6, is going to be an exciting day on our campus.  First of all, we have the incredible opportunity to worship our God and to seek His guidance in our lives.  After that, we also have three gatherings that I want to briefly call your attention to. 
 
First, is our Ministry Fair.  I would ask each one of you, immediately following the worship service, to walk over to the tables that will line the walls of our worship center.  There you will find brief descriptions of specific ministry opportunities at our church.  Each ministry will have someone present to give you the information, answer a few questions, and talk about the opportunities to serve within each area. 
 
Secondly, there will be a team meeting that same day for everyone participating in our Honduras Mission Trip.  This group will be spending a week in Tegucigalpa feeding children, helping teach Bible stories and crafts, working to construct a home, and loving on the children in the Colonia Mogote.  Please be sure to pray for those of our church family that will be making the trip to Honduras July 18-25.
 
Finally, our Student Pastor, Brian, will be meeting with all of the 7-12th grade students who are going to Student Life Camp and their parents.  As you know, there is always a lot of paperwork associated with road trips and camp, so please be present and get ready for a great camp and an excellent summer!
 
I hope to see you Sunday as we continue our study on the Miracles of Jesus. 
 
May the Lord bless you,
 
Pastor Dale

The Ride Pre-Teen Ministry

The Ride
The Ride Update:
We have had an amazing adventure in the "The Ride" preteen ministry.  Through Gods blessings, both Wednesdays with Andy and Sundays with Rockey, have continued to grow.  These last four weeks we have had a great study of the Beatitudes where God has given us a "map" on how we should live our lives as Christians.   Coming up in June we are excited to start our new series called "Plugged In."  Join us on Sundays and let's explore.
 
We are also ready for the summer, with our Astros' outing and our Splashtown trip.  We are sorry to announce that the Astros' outing if full; however, the Splashtown trip is still open.   If you would like to go to our Splashtown trip, volunteers are also still needed, please contact Stacey Butler: 281-960-6123.
 
Concerning our volunteers, thank you all for being a part of this wonderful ministry, and serving.  We also pray, that any others of you who are interested in serving, will join us in this ministry.  Please visit us June 6th, at our church ministry fair, and we can explore together where God has gifted you in serving.
 
 
Wednesday Pre-Teen Ministry:
Wednesday night Pre-teens meet from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m.  Come join us each Wednesday evening for pizza, games, fellowship, and Bible study.  All 4th-6th graders are welcome to attend.

On Sundays, we have a pre-teen worship and Bible study time for 4th-6th led by Rockey and Stacey Butler.  Sign your child in at they foyer, and then bring them to the extension on the sanctuary for a fun time of learning about God's Word and worship.
