So another school year is starting and
Fall will soon be upon us. Amongst the football and craziness there are
several events that KUMC is featuring to help you connect, grow and serve.
If you know of a man who might benefit from the activities here, share this
e-mail with him and tell him about it along with your forward. Leave no man
behind. E-mail kum...@gmail.com for information on the Feed or if you have
feedback.

Going on Now...

· Sunday Mornings - Teachers Still Needed
for your Children - Men, here is a
great opportunity not only to share your love and wisdom with children who
need it and would respond to it, but it’s also a chance to do this
with your wife. Couples can alternate weeks. Teachers are needed for
2-year-olds, Kindergarten and Fourth Grade. Contact Ellen Kent if you can
help.
· Mon. Oct. 10th - Cookies for
Kairos (Again for Hightower Unit) - Monday afternoon and evening several men are gathering, along
with anyone wanting to help who can’t be a part of an actual Kairos
Weekend, to stuff cookies into bags to give to men in white during the
weekend. This is important not only for those selected to attend as pilgrims,
but also to others who may not ever get to the chance to attend because
they are on death row or otherwise prohibited. Receiving cookies is an
outward and visible sign that God (and people on the outside) love them and
it makes a dramatic impact. Just show up at KUMC to help or call the office
at 281-358-2137.
· Oct 13-16 - Kairos Hightower
Weekend - Please pray for
the pilgrims and servants for this life-changing weekend. This is similar
to the Walk to Emmaus but for “men in white” behind Prison
walls. If you want to go and see what it’s about, consider going to
the Sunday Afternoon “closing” event at each unit where
it’s held. Contact KUMC at 281-358-2137 or one of the team members
for Kairos. With Kairos especially, your wives can play important roles on
the “outside” team so you could do this together.
· Fri. Oct. 14th @ 6:30pm -
Family Movie Night - Bring your kids
and yourself to the gym for a fun night and a family-friendly movie at a
price you can afford. Also, bring another family you know that might be in
need of a great experience. Hope to see you there.
· Sat. Oct. 15th @ 8:30am -
The Return of 3rd Saturday Events - Men, every third Saturday from now on will have
something going on that you won’t want to miss. Meet in KUMC’s
parking lot to begin something special each third Saturday. Some events you
can include your children for a great learning and growing experience with
them. Other times, it will be something just for you. Details TBA but come
out this first Saturday ready to work a little in some of God’s
fellowship.
· Sun. Oct. 16th All Morning -
Celebration Sunday and Picnic -
You have likely heard about KUMC’s Annual celebration of what God has
so graciously given to us each Fall. It’s called “Celebration
Sunday” and yes, it’s not only an opportunity to celerate how
blessed we are but also to visibly commit to giving back through gifts and
service and more. There will be no Sunday School and only two services at
9:40 and 11:00am. Afterward there will be a picnic lunch served in the park
across from KUMC. Hope ot see you there. Contact KUMC’s office at
281-358-2137 for details.

You can join these activities at any time this Spring
and Summer.
· Tuesdays @ 6:00am - A New Quest for
Tuesday Mornings -
There is a war going on out there and you may or may not know it. 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. Patrick Evans
for details at 281-358-2137 or simply meet in the Fellowship Hall each Tuesday for a
few weeks.
· Wednesdays @ 5:30-9:00pm - The Table - Each Wednesday this Fall, KUMC will have a chance for
you to share a meal with others as a family...including your kids from
5:30-6:30pm. Then it’s off to bible studies for adults, junior &
senior high, children’s and adult choirs and children’s chimes/handbells,
grace groups and more. 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. 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.
