We had a great night of fun, fellowship and a great MOVIE under the stars. Families brought picnic meals and blankets. The Family Life Committee served popcorn, hot cocoa, chips and candy! This public movie showing was made possible by Compassion International an organization that helps toward ending child poverty.
🎦 THE BEST CHRISTMAS PAGEANT EVER! 🍿

PRAYERS AND SUPPORT FOR DYSON!
Several of our congregation members are friends with Dyson who is fighting hard to knock his cancer into remission.
Congregation members have been praying for Dyson, his family and friends. In addition several members bought tickets to the pork steak fundraiser meal and bake sale last week (11/13), and our Evangelism Committee made a donation on behalf of the church.
Lu F belongs to the Prayer Shawl Ministry at FMC Gonzales. She crocheted this shawl a while back without knowing who it would go to. Then when she heard about Dyson, she knew it was meant for him and gifted it! He’s using it in the hospital and his mom shared this photo! The shawl even matches his tablet cover! ❤️ His mom has also created our balloon arch decor for our VBS the last two years! The is a super sweet family and we wish them blessings and healing! Stay Strong! ➕
🩸Several Monthalia and Belmont church and community members donated during the Belmont Community Blood Drive. Thank you to Karen M, of Belmont Methodist for organizing this and to Goss Diamond A for hosting! Did you miss the blood mobile? You can still give blood by donating at one of these locations or searching online for the next mobile unit in our area by clicking here South Texas Blood and Tissue Center 🩸
Approximately 25 people from area churches met and prayed in a big circle. Seven members from Monthalia represented us: Kenneth and Sandra, Tel and Jinna plus their three kiddos and Traci.
Guest Minister Glenda Taylor originally from Belmont, Texas blessed us with a wonderful sermon based on scripture from John 6:26-40 . Her sermon made us hunger for more Biblical knowledge and for hot rolls! Do you know how many times "bread" is mentioned in the Bible?
Ms. Taylor is a seminarian with George W. Theological Seminary at Baylor. She serves at The Rock SA and The Rock Houston. She will be covering for Pastor Clyde when is called away at Army Drill. We look forward to having Minister Taylor and her family join us again!
A special duet was played today by our organist, Mrs. Cynthia and our pianist, Mrs. Lu. It was emotional for all of us! The two of them have been playing together for nearly 20 years!
Special thanks to the Siepmann Family for allowing us to use of their beautiful river bottom. Thank you to Jackie Sue for her beautiful and motivating music and to Kim Siepmann Fall for her amazing face painting skills (Kimsy Whimsy)! Thanks also to ALL of the volunteers who helped prepare and clean up! ❤️Click on each picture to view even more photos!
