Now that the office staff has been set up with our new church management software, Breeze, we are ready to collect information to update our directory!
As in-person worship services have been suspended for the next couple of Sundays, we ask that you fill out the form electronically. The form is available for you to
download here. Please email the completed form to the office at
office@heartoflongmont.org. We ask every adult fill out the form completely. If you have children, there is room for their information on the second page.
We can't overstate how important it is that we receive your updated information. The church directory hasn't been updated in a number of years, and the office staff has often run into problems with old addresses and phone numbers listed. Also, because of Covid-19 restricting in-person meetings, it's important we have accurate contact information so we can communicate with you and update you on the current situation. Once all updates are completed and in place, the office will be able to make online and print directories available.
If you have any questions about this process or the directory update form, please contact the office. To those of you who have already filled out the form and returned it to us: Thank you!!

Hand sanitizer is a little hard to find on store shelves lately, but don't panic! You can make your own hand sanitizer at home. All you need is rubbing alcohol, aloe vera gel, and a bottle to pour it in. Here is the recipe:
Combine in a bowl:
- â…”-cup rubbing alcohol (99% isopropyl alcohol)
- â…“-cup aloe vera gel.
Stir. Decant into a clean soap or pump bottle.
The CDC recommends sanitizer contain at least 60% alcohol in order to work effectively. If you cannot find 99% isopropyl alcohol, don't worry! Around 90% will work just as well with this recipe. You can find other recipes for hand sanitizer online, but be sure to follow CDC guidelines (and don't substitute vodka for isopropyl alcohol!).
Hand sanitizer is great in a pinch and when you're out and about, but it's no substitute for washing with soap and water. Hand sanitizer works best on clean hands, and is not as effective if your hands are greasy or visibly dirty. Please remember to wash your hands with soap and water when you can!

OUR Center Revised Service Hours

from Mountain Sky Conference Communications - March 12, 2020
In light of the current situation with COVID-19 (Coronavirus) and out of an abundance of caution and care, we will completely conduct District Gathering on Saturday, March 28, remotely. We will no longer gather in-person at designated locations, but connect through Zoom or by phone. The format of District Gathering will also change: the business of each district will still occur on March 28. This includes the nominations of the District Roundtable, the vote for equalization members and honoring of Quiet Disciples. However, the keynote presentation by the Rev. Annie Arnoldy and Rev. Michael Smith will be postponed to a later date. We intend to rethink the format of this education piece and make it accessible to the Mountain Sky Conference.
The Conference Communications Office will send regular updates as we receive them about District Gathering, the Coronavirus and future conference events. There are numerous questions in connection to District Gathering that we will answer, such as registration, access to technology and the processes that districts can conduct official business.
Registration for District Gathering is suspended until further notice. We will provide more information in the next week. Please keep an eye on your conference newsletter and emails from the district for updates. Questions can be directed to:
communications@mtnskyumc.org
