GIFTS Camp is back again this summer the week of July 14-17! GIFTS stands for Growing Interest, Fellowship, Talents, and Service.

Campers will have hands-on, interactive fun while learning about themselves and how God made us with different GIFTS and talents. Kids are encouraged to explore and try new activities and exciting hobbies.

*GIFTS Camp also includes a Missions Initiative to help campers learn about the needs of others, and how we are all called to serve. Every camper will have one Rotation in Missions.

Thanks to your generous response, students at CJ Harris Elementary will receive school supplies for the coming school year. While our supply lists have been claimed, there are still much-needed items on our Amazon registry. These include backpacks, sleep mats for Pre-K, and additional supplies needed by teachers. Please use the link below to access the Amazon list. For your convenience, supplies will be delivered directly to the church.

ATTENTION ALL STUDENTS ENTERING 5th, 6th, or 7th grades in August 2025! Middle School Mania will be June 23-27 from 9 am-noon each day. We will have worship, lessons, mission opportunities, and much more, all with the backdrop of understanding how our faith can be a catalyst.

Sometimes, the idea of "faith" can feel a little mysterious and hard to grasp. After all, what is it? And how do you get it—or get more of it? Well, just like science can explain so many of the mysterious and hard-to-grasp things in the world around us, there are answers for many of the mysterious and hard-to-grasp things about faith, too. You'll learn in science class that "catalysts" are interactions that create big changes and transformations. In the same way, Scripture shows us that certain change-making "catalysts" are necessary for the transformation of our faith and the faith of others.

During this week, we'll discover that faith is a catalyst for action, the faith of others can be a catalyst on our journey, Jesus is the catalyst for a new relationship with God, and we can be a catalyst for change.

FUMC Pearland is excited to host Vacation Bible School this summer the week of June 23-27!

Let’s LIVE IT OUT! 

Our Family Fun Night will take place on June 27.

Please contact Shannon Garza if you have any immediate questions or concerns.

Summer Camp at Lakeview is one of the best weeks you will spend this summer! Our church has been devoted for years to engage our children and youth in the Summer camp experience because it helps them develop a deeper understanding of God, explore their spirituality, and strengthen their relationship with Christ. We have typically taken a large contingent, because we feel it is that powerful!

REGISTRATION HAS CLOSED! Refunds will be made for cancellations that happen 4 weeks prior to camp.

For more information, contact John McClure (jmclure@fumcpearland.org).

Following Jesus can be one of the most intimidating things to start. I hope that you will join us this summer on Monday nights, starting June 9, from 6-7:30 pm, as we take this journey through what it means to apprentice Jesus. We seek to help introduce and find tools to help you walk with Jesus throughout this life.

The study will have videos that you can watch as you travel during the summer. It is our hope that you will take a step out in faith to see what it is to PRACTICE THE WAY.

To complete his Eagle Scout Project, Michael Walton has chosen to create a space to place any US Flags that have become old and are in bad shape and need to be retired in a proper ceremony. Anyone may place a flag in the container and trust that they will be taken care of! This container is on the Jasmine Street side of the Bethel Building. Thank you Michael!

We have a wonderful opportunity to pray for all our summer activity volunteers and participants! Hayley Poston has created a painted tree wall and will be providing pears/flowers/birds painted with names and hung on the wall for anyone to take to pray for individually and directly.

This will be available in the Family Life Center lobby each Sunday, beginning June 1, and mentioned in our services weekly when we pray for each camp. Feel free to invite friends to come see the prayer wall and take a name to pray over, too!

My name is Garrett Rasmussen, and I am a Life Scout with Troop 464. I am currently working on my Eagle Rank and as part of that journey, I've chosen an Eagle Project that I truly believe will make a difference in the lives of children in foster care.

My project is focused on supporting the local Isaiah 117 House, a place where children stay while awaiting placement in their foster homes. To help ease their transition, I am working to collect 100 new duffle bags, backpacks, or other bags to donate. These bags will be given to the children, ensuring they have something of their own to carry their belongings as they move into their new homes.

Isaiah 117 House has specifically requested that all donated bags be new, not used, as many of these children have never owned anything brand new before. This simple gesture can make a significant impact, offering them a fresh start and a sense of dignity in an uncertain time.

To make this collection as accessible as possible, I will be placing a collection box in the Family Life Center and Sanctuary on May 18 and June 8. You can also purchase pre-selected bags directly on Amazon at the link below or we will gladly accept monetary donations, which will allow me to purchase bags on behalf of donors.

This project is about more than just collecting bags—it's about showing children in foster care that they are valued, that their journey matters, and that our community supports them.

Our Annual Garage Sale benefiting Pearland Student Ministries will be held on Friday, May 2 and Saturday, May 3.

The Garage Sale will start on Friday, May 2, from 4 pm-7 pm. There will be a $5 dollar fee on Friday to have the first shot at all of the great deals. The Garage Sale will reopen on Saturday, May 3, from 8 am-3 pm.

We want to give you plenty of notice to get those gently used items ready to be brought to the church! We will accept donations on Sunday, April 27, from 3:00 pm-5:00 pm and April 28-30 from 9:00 am-4:00 pm. For large items that you are not able to deliver yourself, please contact the church office before April 22. Pick-ups will take place on the afternoon and evening of April 27.

Remember that all items that are donated will be resold to the customers to help support our students. Please make sure that all items are gently used and all electronics are in working order. We will not be able to accept mattresses, entertainment centers, console televisions, or car seats.

Volunteers are the backbone of the garage sale, and we have many jobs that take all kinds of skill sets. There will be volunteer opportunities on the days of the sale but also the week leading up to the sale.

For more information call or text Robin Tatem at 713-232-9482.

Gather with believers across Pearland for a collaborative National Day of Prayer event on Thursday, May 1, at 6:00 pm at Independence Park.
