Monthly Message from Pastor David
Be The Church
|

This month's message from Pastor David is about how faith isn't something we have--it's something we do. Be the Church. |

Thank you Knitters and Crocheters! |

I wish to say a “GREAT BIG THANK YOU” to my knitters and crocheters who make our beautiful prayer shawls. The cooler weather is coming and time to continue with making more. Thank you for the time in making them and buying yarn for the shawls. Keep up the wonderful job that you do so well!

Pastor David Burt met to talk with Lay Leader Tricia Grafelman about what's happening at Heart of Longmont in November and December. |

Welcome Keith and Mary Ann |
|
As we continue our 150th celebration years, we will welcome back former pastor Keith Watson and his wife Mary Ann. Keith served as our senior pastor from 1986 to 1994. Following their retirement, they returned to make Longmont their home. We are blessed to have them as an active part of our congregation. Please join us on November 21st to show our love and appreciation to Keith & Mary Ann. |

The Altar Flower Team are in need of more 1 lb. coffee containers for the purpose of the flowers taken after service. If you have any coffee containers to donate, please bring them to the church. Thank you! |

Bernice Gwin arrived in Las Animas, Colorado on March 20th, 1921. Her father “homesteaded” about 15 miles south of Caddoa, which is where she spent her early years. Bernice went to a one room school (1st through 8th grades) and with no churches nearby, the community had Sunday School. She learned at a very early age that she had a very loving God.
Bernice heard from her family about the Pueblo flood of 1921. Her family was evacuated from Las Animas. Then came the depression and the Dust Bowl days. In 1935 the family moved to Denver and/or Longmont area where her Dad had family.
Bernice attended & graduated from Longmont High School. In 1942 she returned to Englewood to work for the telephone company. She moved back to Longmont after her family moved to a farm at Rinn. Then they moved to a farm in Hygiene. Bernice married Ralph Gwin in 1945 and they made their home in Longmont. Ralph spent approximately 4 years in the service during WW2. They have made their home in Longmont since they were married.
Ralph, Bernice & their 3 children attended church & Sunday School at the Methodist Church when it was located at 4th & Terry. Ralph passed away in January of 1963, having attended the “new church” on 11th Avenue. After his passing, Bernice and the children became members of the church in 1963. Bernice worked at Longmont Hospital for 28 years, often spending many, many Sundays at work.
Bernice was active in the church. She was a part of the “Mother’s Club” when the church was at 4th & Terry. She was a member of United Methodist Women when it was called Women’s Society of Christian Service.
After Bernice retired, she was able to travel and enjoy friends and family. She especially enjoyed reunions with her High School Class.
Bernice recalled the town of Longmont being from First Avenue to 9th Avenue. She was amazed at the changes here in her lifetime. She considered it an amazing journey which gave her many beautiful memories. She always tried to live by the lessons she learned in Sunday School and Church.

Bernice celebrated her 100th birthday on March 20, 2021. She passed away October 30, 2021. At the time of her passing, she was the only 100 year old member of Heart of Longmont. Her life inspired & challenged all her friends and fellow church members. Thanks you, Bernice, for an amazing legacy.

Chef Hearty Serves 42 Families in October |
|
Our relationship with the wild Plum Center continues as we handed out our latest healthy Chef Hearty meal at the end of October. We served 42 families this time. As you will see in the pictures, we have purchased reusable bags with a Chef Hearty logo on them that we are asking the families to return each time so that they can get their next meal.
The meal that we provided in October was an “Italian sausage vegetable sheet pan” recipe. We thought you might want to try it at home for yourself as it is pretty tasty, so click here to download the recipe.
We would love either your monetary support or physical assistance as we continue to build the relationship with a Headstart program here in Longmont. We will be assembling the next meal on Wednesday, December 1 at 11 AM in the fellowship hall.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact Tricia Grafelman or Rod Edmonds.

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.

MASKS REQUIRED
FOR IN-PERSON WORSHIP
|
|
The recent emergence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus Delta variant in parts of Colorado has highlighted that there may be times when changing patterns of COVID-19 transmission or severity warrant enhanced infection control measures to ensure congregational safety. I think we have entered such a time. While Boulder County continues to remain in the “Clear” category, health officials are recommending that masks be worn while indoors, even for fully vaccinated people.
As reported August 13 in the Longmont Times-Call:
"As delta variant cases surge throughout Boulder County and the nation, public health officials on Friday updated their guidance to recommend everyone 2 years and older wear masks indoors regardless of coronavirus vaccination status.
The CDC recommends that all individuals, including vaccinated individuals, wear a mask indoors in public in counties with substantial or high transmission.
Boulder County Public Health spokesperson Angela Simental said Friday afternoon that Boulder County was still classified in the substantial transmission category, according to CDC data. However, by Friday evening, it had moved into high transmission." (Emphasis added.)
While it saddens me to have to share this news, I believe that we need to watch out for each other and for our neighbors. I have notified our church Trustees and our Re-Open Team that I will recommend we move back to wearing masks while in the sanctuary on Sundays. That will also mean a suspension of coffee hour after worship for now.
It has been a long time since March 15, 2020 and we are still not out of the woods yet with COVID. But I want you to be safe and well and I want others to be cared for by us. So let’s do what we can TOGETHER to get through this TOGETHER. May God continue to hold us close.
~Rev. David Burt
