A Word from the Pastor

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you have a blessed day celebrating the gift of our Lord given to us.  


PS. On behalf of all the staff, we want to say a big thank you for the staff Christmas bonuses. Your generosity blew the staff away, so much so most of them shed happy tears. It means so much to us to serve such an amazing church. We feel your love and prayers in all we do. We love you so much.

Rooted College Age Ministry Christmas Party

FMC Midlothian Rooted Ministry held our first Christmas Fellowship on 12/16, and we had a blast! We competed in Christmas-themed games, decorated cookies, held a gift exchange, and spent time in the Word together to remind us that nothing is impossible with God!
