Confirmation in The United Methodist Church is a time of intentional preparation, leading to the first public profession of faith. During this time young persons "make firm" what has gone before: God's prevenient grace, baptism, the teaching and witness of parents and other persons of faith, the teachings and life together in the church, the student's own growing faith. Youth are invited to claim for themselves the name Christian and the name United Methodist. Confirmation is a significant step in the journey of faith.

The UMW meet the first Sunday of every month following the worship service. They have an annual Bazaar the 2nd Saturday of October and meet at various times throughout the year to work on crafts for the Bazaar. They also sale homemade candy for Valentine's Day and pies for Thanksgiving. The proceeds for all these events help to support various local, district, national, and worldwide mission projects.
S.O.A.R. (Seniors Off And Running) is a group of senior adults who meet the 3rd Thursday of each month where plans for future outings, missions and events are discussed, and lunch is served.
“They will still bear fruit in old age; they will stay fresh and green” Psalm 92:14 NIV
The biblical challenge to seniors to serve is clear. Whoever trusts in the Lord will continue to bear good fruit at every stage of their life. The certain promise of God to his people is that he will always be at work in and through us, regardless of our circumstances, abilities, or age.
The SOAR Ministry offers seniors an opportunity to continue their service to the Lord as they experience God’s grace and express God’s love to those around them through community endeavors and missions. We live in a world that frequently marginalizes and dismisses the role and value of older adults. This must not be so for God’s people, for older adults play a vital role in the life of the church.
Projects in which SOAR has recently participated:
*Huntsville Military Veterans *Christmas Stockings for Homebound
*U.S. Military Personal Care Packages *Creekside Assisted Living Center
*Hygiene Packets for homeless students *Rise 2 Read Program
*Prayer Pocket Ministry *Journey Through Bethlehem
*Good Shepherd Mission *Samaritan's Purse (Operation Christmas Child)
*Donated kitchen appliances, new hymnals and assisted with flooring costs in Wesley House

Prayers and Squares is an interfaith outreach ministry that combines the gift of a hand-tied quilt with the gift of prayer for someone in need. They make prayer pillows that are given to Houston Methodist Hospital patients and make prayer quilts for members who are sick. The essence of this ministry is in the prayers offered for the recipient.
Family Ministries builds and strengthens unity of the church body by encouraging members to grow closer to one another and thus grow closer to God. From shared observances of Christian holidays, meals, celebrations and recognition of milestones to the comforting reassurance in times of bereavement, Family Ministries encourages God's people to relate to one another with care, concern and compassion as a true family.
