New Lenten Study begins in March
NEW DATE AND TIME
|
|
|
|
After receiving feedback from several people we are changing the date and time for our upcoming Lenten Study! Come take a walk with Pastor David and others as we study Adam Hamilton’s new book
The Walk: Five Essential Practices of the Christian Life.
Starting
Wednesday March 4 at 1:00 pm and continuing for six weeks, we will meet in the Parlor to view a video segment from Rev. Hamilton and then discuss one of the essential practices he says we need for the Christian life. The five practices are: worship and prayer, paying attention, serving, giving and sharing and each one is exemplified by Jesus in his own life.
A sign-up sheet is on the Hospitality desk. Copies of
The Walk are $14.00.

Special Ash Wednesday Service
We will not have an Ash Wednesday service at the Heart of Longmont on February 26 this year. Pastor David will be sharing communion and imposing ashes to those who desire at the HOPE homeless shelter at the Journey Church, 2000 Pike Rd Unit A, Longmont, CO 80501, starting at 6:30pm. Though specifically for our friends who are experiencing homelessness, anyone is welcome to come and partake. Come early if you like and visit with the folks during dinner.

Looking for a Mission Opportunity? Two Ideas:
We need people to work on April 4 at the Habitat Build project. You can either come to help swing a hammer or saw some boards. The other way you could help would be to provide lunch for the workers that day. As our various committees and teams are finding ways to do more in the community this might be a very helpful way to make an impact. If you have any questions or need more details please contact Jan Timmons at 303-776-8644.

All Church Kitchen Cleaning
|
|
Attention church family!
There will be an
ALL CHURCH KITCHEN CLEANING on Saturday, February 22, at 9 AM. For many years, the United Methodist Women have been responsible for keeping the kitchen clean, however we are not the only ones who use the kitchen within the life of the church and we can no longer see to its upkeep alone.
Please plan to come and help on Feb 22, as the more we have helping, the more quickly we will be done! We plan to establish cleaning the kitchen as a quarterly activity to keep up with its cleaning and maintenance needs.
Bring a pair of rubber gloves, a small bucket (if you have one) and your muscles! Thank you in advance for your cooperation and consideration! If you have ANY questions, please contact Lynn Greenhalge at 303-651-3911.

You may have heard that our roof needs some repairs. We will be starting a capital campaign after the first of the year to address the roof repairs, but you can give before the end of the year towards the roof so you can get the best tax breaks for 2019.
Want to understand why we need these repairs? Watch the video below and see for yourself!
