It takes place in our lives, in our jobs, in our friendships and in our distractions and it’s called “spiritual warfare”. Men’s Fraternity is taking a break for this Fall and Spring to make room for some sessions in the same style that will teach us all how to stay in tune with God and realize all He has for us despite the world going on all around us. It’s called Quest and it’s a great way to get a new group of men together to learn and grow in true “Mens’ Fraternity” style. Contact Rev.

Contact KUMC or check the web site at www.kingwoodumc.org for details or just come on over. ·      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.

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.
