June is Men's Health Month

Men’s health is a family matter. This is why First Presbyterian Church Conroe is hosting Life Line Screening, the nation’s leading provider of preventive health screenings on Friday, June 19, 2026.

The screenings provided focus on vascular disease, a leading cause of illness and disability among men. Screenings are fast, painless and affordable. Three key tests check for blocked carotid arteries, an irregular heart rhythm called atrial fibrillation, and high blood pressure, which are the three leading risk factors for stroke.   Other tests check for abdominal aortic aneurysms and hardening of the arteries in the legs. A bone density screening to assess osteoporosis risk is also offered and is appropriate for both men and women.

Many events also offer blood tests, including cholesterol, glucose and c-reactive protein screenings, as well as take-home colon cancer early detection tests. For more information regarding the screenings or to schedule an appointment, call 1-844-591-7160 or go to https://llsa.social/HC  or text the word “circle” to 216-279-1607. Pre-registration is required.

Annual Report


At the recent annual congregational meeting, the Annual Report was distributed.  The report is posted on the  Session page  under the About  Menu on this website.  

Looking Ahead:
Youth Auction and Mystery Dinner


Mark your calendars! The Annual Youth Auction & Mystery Dinner has moved to AUGUST for planning and practical purposes. The exact date is TBD, but we'll announce it when we have a firm date set. Stay tuned for more information.  

An Update to the FPC, Conroe Capital Campaign

More Good News!

Paul encouraged the Ephesians regarding the ability of God and his work in and through his people when he penned these inspired words, “Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power at work in us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. (Ephesians 3:20-21, NIV) Our initial goal for the capital campaign was to raise $800,000 over a three year period. As of February 15, 2026, we have received $805,000 and after we re-amortize our building loan for the second time (estimated to be finalized by April 1), we will have effectively reduced our annual debt service by $70,000.   Through God’s grace, effectively working through his people, we have accom plished in less than one-year what we had hoped to achieve in three years.   To compound this wonderful news, with the continued giving of your campaign pledges and one-time gifts, we estimate that we will have reduced our debt burden from $2.4 million at the onset of our campaign to less than $1 million at the closure of our three-year campaign, resulting in annual savings of $100,000!!  Indeed, Paul summed it beautifully, “…to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. (Ephesians 3:21, NIV) Finally, please continue to pray for the continued effectiveness of this effort and our church. Blessings, Capital Campaign Committee 

"I know that my Redeemer lives, and that in the end He will stand upon the earth. And after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh I will see God; I myself will see Him with my own eyes."

(Job 19:25-27a)

Alaska Youth Mission Trip

A wild and rugged frontier land, Alaska encompasses breathtaking landscapes and some of the most diverse neighborhoods in America. Alaskans are often very independent-minded people, which can make ministry challenging, but also very rewarding.

Teams work in Anchorage, the Matanuska Valley, and the Kenai Peninsula alongside local churches and ministries who are sharing the hope of Christ in a physically and spiritually dark place (Alaska is dark 20 hours/day in the winter: summers have sunshine long into the evening). On your mission trip, you’ll be an encouragement to those you partner alongside, while building meaningful relationships and experiencing the unmatched beauty of Alaska.

WHY ALASKA?

- MOST UNCHURCHED STATE IN THE US
- POVERTY, ALCOHOLISM, ABUSE, AND HOMELESSNESS AMONG THE HIGHEST   IN THE NATION
- LOCAL PASTORS WANT THE HELP AND ENCOURAGEMENT OF OUTREACH ORIENTED TEAMS
- INVEST IN AWESOME KIDS IN NEED OF CHRISTIAN ROLE MODELS
- EXPERIENCE THE RUGGED BEAUTY OF THE LAST FRONTER: GLACIER-FED LAKES, LUSH FORESTS, AND SNOW-CAPPED MOUNTAINS TEEMING WITH WILDLIFE

Prayer List Updates


As we roll into 2026, we ask for help in keeping our prayer list updated.

Through the Bible in One Year


Beginning on Sunday, November 16, the new start time for the class will be 4:00 p.m. The class will remain a one-hour study.
The class has completed its study of the Old Testament, so on December 7th, at 4:00 p.m., we will begin a study of the New Testament.  Not meeting on December 28th.

The class would like to extend an invitation to anyone who would like to participate in the New Testament study to plan to attend.

Spiritual Direction with Rev. Callie Candee


Christians have sought out silent prayer retreats for centuries; driven by a hun ger for closer communion with God, we choose times of silence, of meditation of Scripture, to hear God more clearly and to follow Jesus’ invitation to 'come away with me to a quiet place and rest.' In our ever too busy world, such an invitation is a blessing, as we enter stillness, reflection upon God’s Word, and open ourselves to hearing more fully God’s response to us. Rev. Callie Candee is offering one-on-one Spiritual Direction sessions for our congregation. She can be reached at CallieCandee@yahoo.com.

This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.

(Psalm 118:24)

Prayer List Updates:


Please help us keep the list updated. Your assistance is appreciated.

Wear Your Name Badges!


To help Rev. Saathoff and his wife, Katy, get to know us easier, members are encouraged to wear their name badges on Sunday, September 15, and subsequent Sundays as well.

In case you’ve lost your badge or need a replacement, new badges with magnetic backings have been printed and are available in the narthex. Please see Pat Hudson if you have any questions.  

Also, all church members are asked to wear their name badges when visiting FPC and/or PDS. Anyone that does not have a badge should stop at the FPC office and get one before entering any other area of the building. While this may take a little extra time, it is necessary that we provide a safe environment for our school children, teachers and staff members. We appreciate your under standing.
