           Following God’s Lead: Pastor Zach Nicholson Shares His Faith Journey
          &#xD;

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The Women’s Ministry is excited to welcome Pastor Zach Nicholson as our guest speaker for our September gathering! Zach is the Lead Pastor of The Fellowship in South Easton, Massachusetts, and a longtime friend of Jennifer Hartmann.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Zach will share about his personal faith journey—from studying theology at Houston Baptist University and pastoring churches in Rosenberg, Palacios, and Houston, to his current ministry in Massachusetts. His story is a wonderful reminder of how God can lead us through different seasons, places, and opportunities to serve.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Zach and his wife, Crystal, have three children and continue to maintain a home in Pearland, Texas. We look forward to hearing Zach’s story, learning from his journey, and being encouraged by the ways God has worked through his life and ministry.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           All women are invited to join us for this special morning of fellowship, encouragement, and inspiration. Bring a friend and come hear where God has led Pastor Zach—and what He may be inviting each of us to discover in our own faith journey.

           On Wednesday, September 23, 2026, students across the nation and around the world will gather for See You at the Pole™ (SYATP), the global day of student prayer. The 2026 theme is “Come to Me,” based on Matthew 11:28:  “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;

    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           See You at the Pole began in 1990 with a small group of students praying for their schools. Today, it continues as a student-initiated, student-organized, and student-led opportunity for students to gather before school and pray for their friends, families, teachers, schools, and communities.

           Imagine what could happen if children, youth, parents, and families filled an entire table with cards—each one written, prayed over, stamped, and ready to encourage someone.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           &amp;#55357;&amp;#56552;One card could brighten a teacher’s day.

      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
           &amp;#55357;&amp;#56552;One card could remind a friend they aren’t alone.
           &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
           &amp;#55357;&amp;#56552;One card could encourage someone in our church family.
           &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
           &amp;#55357;&amp;#56552;One invitation could be the beginning of a new connection.

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           As part of Pray &amp;amp; Go, we want to practice turning prayer into action. On Sunday September 27th beginning at 8:45AM, families will gather to write letters, cards, or invitations during the connect hour. Everyone is welcome to come by and spend some time writing a letter of encouragement to someone. Before you write, pray for the person who will receive your card. Ask God to encourage them, meet their needs, give them strength, and help them know His love.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Then write something personal and encouraging. You might:
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;ul&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Thank someone for the way they have impacted your life.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Encourage a teacher or friend who may be having a difficult season.

            Simply remind someone that they are loved and appreciated.

    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            We’ll provide the cards, envelopes, stamps, and pens. All you need to bring is your willingness to pray, write, and encourage. After you have written your card, drop it in a basket either in the fellowship hall or in the sanctuary and we will get it mailed. Cards will be available starting September 20th if you would like to take one home to write and bring it back on Sunday, September 27th.
           &#xD;

           Everyone is welcome, but families are invited to stay for a combined Connect Time of quiet reflection, family prayer &amp;amp; discussion, time to write letters, cards, invitations. Crafts will be set up as well for the youngest ones. Donuts &amp;amp; coffee will be provided during this hour.

           Rosenberg First Methodist Church is excited to participate in the Fort Bend County Parade on Friday, September 25!
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;

    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            As we make our way through the parade, we’ll be spreading the love of Jesus through inviting people to our upcoming
           &#xD;

          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           . Volunteers will be handing out invitations along the parade route and inviting our community to come enjoy this fun, family-friendly event.

    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            The parade begins at 9am, so volunteers will need to arrive to the church between 7-7:30am where we will carpool to the float using the church bus. A more accurate arrival time will be communicated closer to the parade date. The parade begins off on US 90A at Fifth Street in Richmond, then continues west on 90A to Rosenberg. The parade route ends at US 90A at Millie in Rosenberg. The parade is approximately 3 miles long. We will have snacks for volunteers on the float, and lunch will be provided after.

           This is a wonderful opportunity for families to worship, pray, serve, and be the hands and feet of Jesus together. This is also a great opportunity to teach children &amp;amp; youth the importance of loving and praying for our neighbors, and how they can do that in their own neighborhoods and at school.

           Global Methodist Church General Conference begins August 30 in Johannesburg, South Africa, bringing together clergy and lay delegates from around the world to share in fellowship, worship, and decision-making as they shape the future of the Global Methodist Church.

    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The General Conference aims to facilitate dialogue on critical issues, provide spiritual renewal, foster collaboration among attendees, and ensure transparent governance. It serves as a vital time for prayer, worship, and discerning God’s will together as a global church.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           This historic gathering marks the first time the denomination’s General Conference will be held on the African continent, a powerful affirmation of the Global Methodist Church’s commitment to being a truly global movement. Pastor Wendy will be attending the conference as a delegate and will be out of the office August 27–September 8. Pastor Emeritus Sharon Sabom will also be attending the Conference. While our pastors are away, Pastor Joyce Dunne, a friend of Pastor Wendy’s parents, will lead worship services on Aug 30 and Sept 6.

    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The church office will remain open during this time for anyone who needs assistance or has questions about church-related matters. For pastoral assistance, you may also contact the church office, and we will be happy to help connect you with the appropriate support.

    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           As we follow along with the General Conference in Johannesburg, we can also join with churches around the world in prayer. The General Conference has provided a 14-Day Prayer Guide to help us intentionally pray for our delegates, church leaders, and the important conversations and decisions ahead. We invite you to use the guide and join us in seeking God’s wisdom, guidance, unity, and presence as our global church gathers to discern His will for the future of the GMC.

           Reagan and Asher will help ensure our worship services and other events are supported by reliable audio, video, and streaming. Their work helps us create a meaningful experience for those worshiping in person and makes it possible for others to connect with us online. They will officially begin in the coming weeks as we transition to the new cameras and streaming software. They will work alternating Sundays.

           Together, let's watch God continue to grow His Kingdom—one faithful "yes" at a time. &amp;#55356;&amp;#57137;&amp;#55357;&amp;#56473;

           The Leadership Board met on Tuesday and received updates from several ministry and operational areas as work continues to move forward across the church.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The Finance Team presented the June financial reports to the Board and reviewed the August counting schedule, with Johnnie Cooper and Bill Talasek serving as counters. The Board also received an update on the results of the 2025 audit, conducted by Rick Marriott, Ross Werlla, and Joyce Lamensky.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;

    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The Staff-Parish Relations Committee (SPRC) discussed staffing updates, including a review of our new Director of Family Ministries, Mia Yakimow, as well as updates regarding the open Nursery Attendant and AV Coordinator positions.
          &#xD;

    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The Trustees presented an update to the Facility Use Policy, which was approved by the Board. They also provided updates on ongoing Education Building renovations and discussed the financial resources currently available through the Capital Campaign to support this work.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Lay Leader Johnnie Cooper shared an update from Rise Up Church Camp, held June 29–July 3, and invited everyone to attend the Methodist Men's quarterly breakfast on Saturday, August 1, at 8:00 am. Campers will be there to share their experiences and answer questions.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The Board also received the Pastor’s Report, which included a full discipleship plan for the fall. The Board also reviewed the new Children’s Ministry Guidelines and discussed several options for updating and implementing a new Records Retention Policy.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The Leadership Board meets on the third Tuesday of each month at 6:00 pm to review and discuss matters related to the ministry, operations, and future direction of the church. These meetings are open to all and provide a valuable opportunity to stay informed and connected with the ongoing life and mission of Rosenberg First.

           Jesus promised that He would build His Church. Throughout history, He has done that through ordinary people who simply said, "Here I Am."
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           At Rosenberg First, we've been praying for God to grow His Kingdom in our community. We've renovated spaces, welcomed new families, strengthened our ministries, and called a Director of Family Ministries to help lead us into this next season. Now it's time for all of us to play our part for the Kingdom.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

           This fall marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter.

           , a Christ-centered curriculum that helps every generation see how the entire story of Scripture points to Jesus. Children, students, and adults will be studying the same passages each week, making it easier for faith to be lived out at church and at home.

           These ministries aren't simply new programs. They're opportunities to reach families, make disciples, and help people encounter the love of Jesus.

           Have you ever received a handwritten card that brightened your day? In a world of emails and text messages, a personal note can make someone feel seen, valued, and remembered.
          &#xD;

           Every week, God brings new faces through the doors of our church. For many, taking that first step into a new church can feel overwhelming. A simple handwritten card lets our guests know they weren't just another visitor—they were noticed, welcomed, and prayed for.

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           We're inviting individuals and families to join us for a neighborhood prayer outreach. Together, we'll walk through our community, praying over each home and leaving a door hanger that lets residents know their house has been prayed over.

      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           Please do not knock on doors or ring doorbells.

    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Simply pray for each home and hang the provided flyer on the door before moving on to the next house.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Whether you come on your own, with your spouse, or bring the whole family, this is a meaningful opportunity to serve together and make a positive impact in our community. Every prayer offered is an expression of God's love and care for those who live around us.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;

           The Power of Personal: Inviting Others to Christ Through Personal Stories
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Annual Conference is more than meetings and reports—it is a time to witness God's work through transformed lives, faithful ministry, and a shared vision for the future. Rev. Jason Burnham has shared a recap of this year’s conference. Continue on to hear stories of hope, celebration, and God's continued movement across the Trinity Conference.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

           LAY TESTIMONIES
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           One of the most memorable moments of the conference for me came during Friday evening worship as three lay members from across the Trinity Conference courageously shared their personal testimonies of God's grace and faithfulness. Their stories were powerful reminders that God continues to transform lives in every season and circumstance.
           &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

           SPIRITUAL TRANSFORMATION THROUGH EVERYDAY EVANGELISM
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The practical, encouraging preaching and teaching by Rev. J.D. Walt and Rev. Matt Reynolds blessed the conference. They challenged everyone to rethink evangelism not as a program or event, but as a natural part of everyday life. Through relatable examples and practical guidance, they reminded us that ordinary conversations, authentic relationships, and a willingness to listen can open extraordinary opportunities for the Gospel.
          &#xD;

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           One of the most significant moments of our gathering was the presentation and adoption of a new three-year strategic plan. More than a static document, it serves as a roadmap for how we will develop and multiply leaders, advance disciple-making, and plant new churches throughout the Trinity Conference.

    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The Leadership Board met on June 16 and received updates from several ministry and operational areas as work continues to move forward across the church.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The Finance Team reported continued progress in working with Simplify Church to refine and improve the church’s financial reporting processes. In addition, a designated audit team will soon begin conducting the church’s 2025 financial audit to help ensure continued accountability and transparency.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The Staff-Parish Relations Committee (SPRC) shared an encouraging update regarding Mia Yakimow, Director of Family Ministries, who is off to a strong start in her new role. Mia has already begun planning several upcoming events and has developed new Children's Ministry guidelines designed to strengthen and support ministry with children and families at Rosenberg First.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The Trustees provided several updates related to ongoing campus improvements and safety initiatives. Renovations to the downstairs Fellowship Hall restrooms are now complete, and preparations are underway for work to begin in the foyer area. The Education Building roof replacement project is also scheduled to begin before the end of the month. Trustees were pleased with the strong participation in the recent CRASE (Civilian Response to Active Shooter Events) training hosted by the Rosenberg Police Department and continue to pursue additional measures to enhance the safety and security of our campus and congregation. They also reported that implementation of a new service agreement with Cintas is nearing completion, which will provide the church with an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) and ongoing maintenance support.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Lay Leaders Johnnie Cooper and Janet Enax shared highlights from their experience attending this year’s Annual Conference at Christ Church in College Station. Johnnie also provided a brief report on his time serving during Week 1 of Rise Up Summer Camp and the impact camp continues to have on students and leaders alike.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The Leadership Board meets on the third Tuesday of each month at 6:00pm to review and discuss matters related to the ministry, operations, and future direction of the church. These meetings are open to all and provide a valuable opportunity to stay informed and connected with the ongoing life and mission of Rosenberg First.

Debra will share about the mission of DAR and its commitment to promoting patriotism, preserving American history, and strengthening the future through education for children. These goals, first established when the organization was founded in 1890, remain just as meaningful and relevant today, continuing to inspire service and civic engagement.

           As a new school year approaches, many families struggle to afford the supplies their children need to succeed. By donating school supplies, you can help students start the year prepared, confident, and ready to learn. Most importantly, your generosity reminds them that they are seen, valued, and loved.

           The City of Rosenberg's annual Family 4th celebration is just around the corner, and we're excited to be part of this wonderful community event once again!
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Held at Seabourne Creek Nature Park, Family 4th brings together families, friends, and neighbors for an evening of fun, fellowship, entertainment, and fireworks as we celebrate our nation's independence.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           As a church, we believe that community events like Family 4th provide a unique opportunity to meet people where they are, build meaningful relationships, and share the love of Christ. This year, Rosenberg First Methodist Church will have a booth at the event, serving as a welcoming place where attendees can learn more about our church family, connect with members of our congregation, and discover opportunities to grow in faith and fellowship.&amp;#55357;&amp;#56911;&amp;#55358;&amp;#56605;

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Our goal is simple: to be present, to serve, and to reach those who may be searching for hope, encouragement, or a church home. Every conversation matters, and every smile, greeting, and invitation can make a lasting difference.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           To make this outreach effort successful, we need volunteers to help throughout the event. There are several ways you can serve:

           Dear Corinth: A Church Made New
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Last Sunday, Rosenberg First began Dear Corinth: A Church Made New, a 10-week journey through Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians. As we explore what it means to be shaped by God’s grace, truth, and love, many have asked for ways to engage more deeply with the series throughout the week. In response, a companion reading plan is now available. The plan breaks 1 Corinthians into manageable daily readings, with each week’s sermon passages highlighted in bold. Whether you are preparing for the upcoming message, reflecting on the previous Sunday’s sermon, or seeking a consistent rhythm of Scripture reading, this resource is designed to help God’s Word remain part of daily life, not just Sunday mornings.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           There are also several opportunities to connect with others as we journey through this series together. Beginning June 21, the Faith Connect Class will launch a 12-week study, The First Letter to the Corinthians. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of Paul’s letter, explore the striking similarities between the challenges facing the early church and those facing Christians today, and discover how God’s saving grace continues to shape His people into a holy and faithful community. This study will complement Pastor Wendy’s summer sermon series and provide additional insight into the themes being explored each week.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The Upper Room Class will also be engaging in weekly discussions connected to the Dear Corinth series, offering opportunities to dive deeper into topics such as Christ-centered wisdom, Spirit-led freedom, authentic community, and the hope of the resurrection.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The Apostle Paul’s message to Corinth remains remarkably relevant today, and this summer offers a unique opportunity for our entire church family to grow together through worship, study, discussion, and daily Scripture reading. Click below to access the reading plan, or find it on the church website's homepage. Everyone is encouraged to join the journey and experience how God continues to make His church new.

           Trinity Annual Conference 2026: The Power of Personal
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            The Trinity Conference of the Global Methodist Church will gather June 4–6, 2026, at Christ Church in College Station, Texas, for its Annual Conference under the inspiring theme:
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           “The Power of Personal: Inviting Others to Christ Through Personal Stories.”
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Rooted in Jesus’ words from Mark 5:19 — “Go home to your own people and tell them how much the Lord has done for you” — this year’s conference will focus on the transformative impact of sharing personal testimonies of God’s mercy, grace, and redemption.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Conference leaders describe this year’s emphasis as a call for believers to speak openly and humbly about how Christ has worked in their lives. Throughout Scripture, ordinary people became powerful witnesses simply by telling others what God had done for them. Trinity leaders believe the same remains true today.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Rev. Jason Burnham, in announcing the 2026 conference theme, encouraged churches and individuals across the conference to pray boldly and be ready to share their stories wherever God opens the door. “God desires to use our stories for His glory,” Burnham shared.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The Annual Conference will bring together clergy and laity from across Texas, Louisiana, and Arkansas for worship, teaching, fellowship, ministry updates, and vision casting for the future of the Trinity Conference.

           All women are invited to our next Women’s Ministry gathering on Tuesday, June 9, at 10am.
          &#xD;

           We are pleased to welcome Cynthia Seamans of Victoria, Texas, as our guest speaker. Cynthia is a Bible teacher, sharing God’s love and wisdom with everyone who will sit still and listen. She has taught all ages—from preschool children to youth to women—for 47 years. She loves people, whether they know God or not, and finds there is nothing more rewarding than opening hearts to His love and destiny for their lives.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           She has called Faith Family Church of Victoria, Texas, her church for 27 years. During that time, she has sung on the Sunday Praise Team and led a 60-member choir. She graduated with honors after three years in their Destiny Bible Institute, and then proceeded to teach there. For 27 years, she has taught Ladies Bible Study consistently and worked on numerous projects, musical productions, and Women’s Conferences.

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Some of the best years of her life include mission work in numerous countries, including Ukraine, Switzerland, Spain, France, Cuba, India, and Morocco.
          &#xD;

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Married for 57 years, Cynthia’s husband is a dentist, and she is a dental hygienist. They have two beautiful godly daughters, six grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren. They have homes in Victoria and in Chester, Texas, still enjoy fishing in Alaska, and work three ranches raising cattle. Best of all, they love watching God’s miracles unfold all around.

      <title>Leadership Board | May Updates</title>

    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The Leadership Board met on May 19 and approved several important projects and initiatives related to ongoing campus improvements and church safety. Due to recurring leaks in the Fellowship Hall roof over the past several months, the Board approved a contract with Texas Roofing &amp;amp; Leak Repair in the amount of $29,963 for full roof replacement. This project will be funded through the Capital Campaign Fund and was previously identified as part of Phase I of the Capital Campaign program. Earlier this year, foundation repairs totaling $18,575 were also completed as part of the same phase. In addition, renovation work on the second floor of the Fellowship Hall is nearing completion, while renovations to the first-floor restrooms are currently underway.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The Board extends sincere appreciation to all who have faithfully contributed toward their Capital Campaign pledges or remain current in their scheduled giving. Continued support is essential as the church prepares to move into the next phases of the campaign, including relocation of the stage and the purchase and installation of updated audio/visual equipment.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Additionally, the Board approved a contract with Cintas for the rental and servicing of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED), with certified training currently being pursued. The Board also approved CRASE (Civilian Response to Active Shooter Events) training, which will be provided by the Rosenberg Police Department as part of the church’s ongoing commitment to safety and preparedness.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The Leadership Board meets on the third Tuesday of each month at 6pm to review and discuss matters related to the ministry, operations, and future direction of the church. These meetings are open to all and provide a valuable opportunity to stay informed and connected with the ongoing life and mission of Rosenberg First.

    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           We give heartfelt thanks for Associate Pastor Ron Richard, whose faithful leadership has blessed our church in countless ways. Through his leadership in developing both a prayer team and outreach opportunities, his commitment to discipleship in Connect classes, and his gentle presence in pastoral care, Ron has nurtured the spiritual lives of many in our congregation.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Pastor Ron is exploring new ministry opportunities outside of our congregation. His final Sunday will be April 12, when he will preach a farewell sermon and be celebrated with a reception following the service. We celebrate all that God has done through him and look forward with joy to what He will do next. Please join us in praying for Pastor Ron as he continues to serve Christ with grace and passion. We wish him every blessing in this new season of ministry!
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Additionally, our accompanist Betty Chen has shared her intention of relocating after Easter and our Praise Band keyboardist Rudy Balibalita has shared his intentions of stepping back as well. We celebrate their many contributions to our community and will send them forward with our well wishes and prayers when the time comes.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;

           The Leadership Board has made the following plans for staffing going forward.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;ul&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
          
             The associate pastor position has been closed. Those funds have been reallocated to new positions.
            &#xD;
        &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;

        &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
          
             The Accompanist job description has been updated to include the Praise Band, meaning that the accompanist would contribute to all of the musical offerings in worship. This shift will provide continuity and consistency for our music ministry.
            &#xD;
        &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            The NextGen Coordinator position has been updated to Director of Family Ministries. The Director of Family Ministries will champion a vibrant, Christ-centered vision for children, youth, and families—raising up volunteers, strengthening Sunday and midweek programs, and creating meaningful opportunities for discipleship, outreach, and spiritual growth. As God brings growth to Rosenberg First, this leader will help build a dynamic and welcoming family ministry that equips the next generation to love Jesus, connect deeply, serve boldly, and reach others with the gospel. This change demonstrates a clear commitment by the Board to grow our children, youth, and family ministry offerings.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            The changes in staffing will result in a budget savings of $4,000.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/ul&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Job postings will be coming shortly, so the hiring process can begin. Please join together in prayer that God would call the people forward to partner with Rosenberg First in ministry.
           &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;

            will study Asking Jesus by J.D. Walt. In a world that places a premium on answers, Jesus takes a different approach—He’s all about the questions. What if we pressed pause on our need for more answers? What if we raised our expectations when it comes to asking better questions? There’s a powerful connection between quest and questions. This study invites participants to lean into the questions Jesus asks, discovering how they awaken deeper faith, honest reflection, and a more intimate walk with God.

           Lent is not meant to be walked alone. It is a time to seek transformation, wrestle with holy questions, and encourage one another along the way. Consider this your invitation to step into a Connect Class this season—you may discover that God is using this journey to shape you in new and unexpected ways.

           Following worship on Sunday, February 15, the Youth and Children are planning to host a Pancake Lunch Fundraiser for camp. We have asked the Methodist Men to  donate the pancake mix, sausage, butter, syrup, milk, and OJ again. The youth will cook pancakes and sausage and serve the congregation. Parents will be needed for guidance and supervision. The children will serve as hosts and help with clean-up. The meal will be by donation only and the funds raised will be shared between those families and youth who participate. Please mark your calendars and plan to volunteer!

           As we begin a new year, our Church Board is pressing RESET—renewing our shared commitment to lead with clarity, faithfulness, and alignment with our church bylaws. The Board plays a vital role in stewarding the ministry and mission of the church, and this year begins with intentional training and organization to ensure we are serving well.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;

    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            and will focus on training and selecting work areas. Board members will review key organizational documents and then move into their primary areas of service:
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;

          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;

           . Following the training, each work area will have dedicated time to begin its work for the year ahead.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            In keeping with our values of transparency and shared leadership,
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           Board meetings are open to everyone
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           , unless the Board votes to enter a closed session for specific personnel or confidential matters.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Please continue to pray for the Board as they seek to lead faithfully and wisely in the year ahead, keeping our mission at the center of every decision.

            Have you ever wondered what it’s like to sing in the choir?

           Choir Music Day
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            is a wonderful, low-pressure opportunity to experience the joy of making music together in a spirit-filled and welcoming environment.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Whether you’re a longtime singer or simply curious, all are invited to come, listen, learn, and lift your voice in praise. We’ll begin after we support the Rise Up Summer Camp Fundraiser. We'll gather at

    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            No long-term commitment required—just a willing heart and a desire to worship through song.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Come see how choir is more than singing—it’s community, prayer, and joy. We’d love for you to be part of the day! &amp;#55356;&amp;#57270;
