Salvation Army Bell Ringing Campaign

It’s the time of year when we see those red kettles again at all the grocery stores and other places around town. The funds received from this Salvation Army bell-ringing campaign will stay in our St. Vrain Valley community and will be used to help with rent assistance, homelessness prevention, utility assistance, and emergency shelter. We will be working at the North Hover Street Safeway Store on Saturday, December 14, and Saturday, December 21. This year we will be staffing both of the entrances to the store, so we will need two teams for each two hour shift from 9 AM to 9 PM. This is a great opportunity for families or grandparents with their grandkids to experience helping others during the holiday season. Sign-up sheets will be on the Information Desk in the Gallery starting this Sunday, November 24.

The year was 1959.  Do you remember where you were and what you were doing?  Big things were happening at 350 11th Ave. A new building welcomed the Longmont Methodist Congregation. If you were a part of that historic move and have memories to share, please contact Ann Yoder at 303 772-8294 or gordyoder@msn.com. First-hand recollections are great but stories passed down from family or friends are also welcomed. Your true story or tall tale will highlight our celebration Sunday in November!

Student Care Packages Each year our United Methodist Women like to remember students in our church family who are pursuing post high school training and undergraduate degrees with a care package. These packages are sent out in late February. If you would like your student to receive a package, please submit their name and spring address to Becky Vancura no later than January 6th. Text 720-771-7746 or Email becky.vancura@gmail.com

Blessing Bags Blessing Bags were assembled following the Feeding Our Souls dinner. There are boxes next to the main entrance and the West airlock containing these bags – please take one or two and keep them in your car. When you see someone asking for help, offer one of these bags instead of money.

We will continue to put Blessing Bags together after Feeding Our Souls (3rd Wednesday of the month). Your donations of any of these items is greatly appreciated! Find the Blessing Bags box in the Gallery: Socks Water bottles Protein snacks Chap stick Tooth brush and paste Hand wipes Granola bars

What's Going On Up There???

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!
