Heart of Longmont Youth 2021 Review |
|
The youth have had a lovely 2021, despite the challenges that the whole world has faced. We adjusted and adapted to different mandates as they came along and have continued to find ways to fellowship and thrive! We consistently have a wonderful group of close to a dozen youth attend our weekly meetings. Games are always a highlight of the night, but we have also been happy to bring back our weekly dinners as well.
We rounded out 2021 with our annual youth Christmas party at the church! We had 15 youth join in the festivities, and thanks to the support of many of our members, it was a very fun and successful event! We started out the night with a Nativity themed escape room in the Chapel. Thanks for the recommendation, Lynn Greenhalge! Then we enjoyed a delicious meal provided by Joan and Rod Edmonds. Karl Scott provided us with more cookies than we could consume and the night was rounded out with hot cocoa and cider provided by Brenda and Don Graffis. We ended the night with our annual white elephant gift exchange and a few rounds of infection tag and pew races.
We have big plans for the new year for our little group of wonderful kids. I look forward to sharing more highlights with the congregation in the future!

January's compassion offering supports United Methodist Special Sunday Offerings. These include offerings for Human Relations Day, UMCOR, Native American Ministries, Peace with Justice and Student Sunday. What we receive this month will be split equally between all five offerings.
If you wish to donate to this month's compassion offering, you can do so online by clicking here and navigating to the Monthly Compassion Offering tile. Or, you may send a check to the church office with "Compassion Offering" on the memo line. |

Just one year ago, we began the 150th Anniversary celebration of the founding of the Methodist Church in the new town of Longmont. The year brought us visits from former pastors, the district superintendent and our Bishop. Pulse articles shared memories of many longtime members. You were invited to share in the year’s expenses by purchasing souvenir items. The 150th planning committee supported plans for restoration of the stained glass window & the Blessing Box. The gift of a bench for the playground was given to be used by the neighborhood & Wild Plum. In honor of our guest speakers, donations were made to OUR Center, Hope, BUMMP & mission projects. Historic articles in the Pulse & the local newspapers reminded us of the inspiring history of our church.
As we end our celebration year, we invite you to celebrate with us again on January 23rd as we finalize our year of celebrations. We will share greetings from former pastors and/or family members of former pastors. A historic booklet has been prepared for distribution to all members. The anniversary theme of “Honor the Past – Inspire the Future” truly honored our past and our wish is to have also inspired our future.

Many Thanks to Misty Bone |
|
For 11 years Misty Bone has been the face of the Heart of Longmont Family and Children program. She has guided countless children in their journey to learn about Jesus.
The Staff Parish Relations Team (SPRT) sadly announces that Misty will be leaving as the Children and Families Ministries Director January 9th. After much deliberation SPRT made the decision to eliminate the CFM director as a paid position.
The Christian education of the children is extremely important to the leadership of the church. While the direction and implementation of the program will be assessed through the month of January, we will have a intermediary program available beginning mid month. More information will come at a later date.
We are very grateful for all of the time Misty has committed to the children’s program plus the efforts she has made in our Wild Plum connections with the Angel tree, the Christmas baskets and the community outreach programs that have been done over the years.

Closing Out The Christmas Season |
|
It is always a sad day to take down the Christmas decorations ...but down they must go. This happens at the church too and since it is everyone's home and no one's responsibility we must all pitch in and help. So on Friday morning January 14 at 9:30 any one who can please meet at the church to help take down the trees and garlands and lights. Many hands make light work! And lots of fellowship and sharing takes place besides the work. Any questions, call Marty at 303-772-7816. |

Have you ever wanted to ask Jesus one question? What would it be?
We will begin the new year of 2022 with a new sermon series: “Searching for Answers”. What are the questions you have about the Bible? About living the Christian Life? About the Teachings of Jesus? Pastor David would love to know what questions you may have and will invite all of us to think about such topics. He can’t promise that he will answer them the way Jesus would, but it will be fun and hopefully inspiring to discuss them together.
The new sermon series begins Sunday January 2, 2022.
