The Quest group will be revisiting Alpha, an amazing short course in Christianity for those of us coming back to the church after time away, or who have questions we never asked about our faith. It’s worth the getting up for breakfast and fellowship for on Tuesday mornings so come join us. It’s not too late. ·      Sun.

Well, though there are some dedicated groups who have taken up the charge, we still find gaps as not all five positions are addressed. Consider taking a Sunday to serve with Team Welcome, even if you aren’t a part of the team working that day you are wanted and welcomed. Contact Steve Reeves or John Nelson for details and to get hooked up.    Ongoing Events These activities are ongoing You can join these activities at any time.   ·      Ongoing - Bus Stop Prison Ministry Needs Men - Each weekday in Humble at the bus station, men and women who are set free from prison having served their time are dropped off to await a bus to the next stage of their lives. Now, a small but dedicated group of your friends and neighbors is gathering to meet them, give them a fresh change of clothes, buy them lunch and snacks to fill their bellies, and show them that God still loves them and wants them back in His world. Men, consider giving of your time to meet these men (women will meet with women) at the bus stop and show some of God’s love for them before they begin the next part of their journey. Help is needed on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays around lunch time. Or if you work consider donating jeans, T-shirts, new toiletries, or moneys to provide food and snacks. Contact KUMC at 281-358-2137 if you can help. ·      Fridays @ 6am - Friday AHP Moves To New Home - Due to the expansion of the School for Little Children and related ministries it was decided that AHP needs to find a new home on Friday mornings. As God would have it, one was available and we are really excited about it. So we will move beginning this date to the K Building on the northwest corner of campus. Men, bring your prayer and study group, or come be a part of ours, as we have lots of room in our new home to grow. Contact Purvis Harper for details or just show up then. ·      Sunday Morning AHP - For those who can’t make Friday mornings, a similar group meets on Sunday mornings at 7:15am in K105. They are studying “Golf’s Sacred Journey: Seven Days on the Links of Utopia”. Every second Sunday they stop down and go to the Men’s Fellowship Breakfast. Visitors are welcomed. ·      New KUMC Web Site - In case you missed it, go to www.kingwoodumc.org (you may have to refresh the page but will know when you do) and check out KUMC’s new web site. Some of the many features are up and running, but there are so many more that will be added shortly and you won’t want to miss out. The new site gives total control over your account @ KUMC, let’s you register and pay online for church-related events and contributions, and yes...get the Feed newsletter in a new way coming soon. Click the “KUMC Community Login” box from the main page or visit https://secure.accessacs.com/access/memberlogin.aspx?sn=106310 where you will want to create an account based on your e-mail address and update your contact info.      In The Pipeline…   ·      January 9, 2012 - Letters From Dad - Men, chances are that many of you reading this have taken the Letters from Dad course and have at least one story to share from writing letters to your family and what that can mean. The spring session is coming and it’s time to think about giving it a try if you haven’t before. Also, those who are course veterans consider sharing your story with the group during these sessions and/or inviting some men to come. They don’t have to be KUMC members, just be open to writing to their children. Contact Dan Pearce or Patrick Evans for info. ·      January 27-29, 2012 - Friday AHP Retreat - Those of you men who frequent Friday morning AHP are already aware of this, but if you haven’t been in awhile or at all, here is the info. each year the Friday morning groups do a retreat in Surfside for a weekend of fellowship and some eye-opening experiences with Christ courtesy of John Hensley and his team. You should probably consider attending Friday mornings if you don’t already have a small group of men to fellowship with, pray with and experience life with service Christ. More information is there.

This is not a "Methodist" thing or a "Christian" thing...It's a "Man" thing for those who seek a better life with God's guidance so you are always welcome at all of our events...no excuses.
