Youth Auction and Mystery Dinner
April 28th
Join us for a fun night of mystery and intrigue (and some great BBQ, too!) as we try to solve the mystery of “The Great Canine Follicle Debacle”! See details below in the following section.
The Great Canine
Follicle Debacle
It looks like someone really had it in for Petunia the Poodle. Someone substituted a bottle of hair removal lotion for her shampoo, and now she’s bald!
It’s up to the guests to figure out who is responsible, since their bumbling human owners are sure to mess things up!
We’ll have presale tickets in the Narthex, starting April 7-21, where you can take part in this “whodunnit”. All the fun happens on April 28th, from 5-7 p.m. Tickets are $15/person and $5 per child <12.
Contact Dena Sowden for details. DSowden@FPCConroe.org or (979) 255 2096.

Pastor Nominating Committee Update #4
The Pastor Nominating Committee (PNC) is making solid progress as it works toward the selection of our next pastor. Thanks in part to the results of the survey that many of you completed, we have finished the Ministry Discernment Profile that is being used to match us with potential candidates. That process has begun and we are confident we will find the right fit for the future of our church.
While we can't project a precise timeline for when that will happen, we are working diligently to ensure an efficient process. If you have any comments, input or questions, please reach out to the PNC at pnc@fpcconroe.org. We welcome your input!
Sincerely, Your PNC: Dana Corbit, Shirley Dukes, Jay Hammonds, Pat Hudson, Roy Kessler, Charline Muller, Janet Pohla, Steve Scheffler, Mark Sowden
