Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you. ~Ephesians 4:31-32 |

Days for Girls is a national organization that is creating a more dignified, free and educated world through access to lasting feminine hygiene solutions. Girls in developing countries cannot attend school during their menstrual cycle. They have no supplies for feminine hygiene and so they must stay home from school. This cuts short their education and is a great loss to the girl, her family, her community and her country.

Here at the Heart of Longmont, the United Women of Faith are supporting this mission project. Some women work at home cutting fabric, collating sets of fabric to be sewed, sewing bags, shields, and pads. And then the first Friday of each month about 7 of us gather together to trace patterns, cut more fabric, roll girls underpants and enjoy each other’s company. This month we began filling the fabric bags that were made for us by Brenda Graffis. In the bag we put 2 shields, 8 pads, a washcloth, a small bar of soap, and 2 pairs of panties. We put together 132 complete bags and sent them off to be combined with other group efforts in the Mountain Sky Conference. We have lots more contents for more bags that we will work on next month. In the pictures you can see Gloria Hinz, Mary Ann Watson, Janice Jordon, and Sandy Rabenhorst. Phyllis Oling was off in another corner doing something else and Marty Allison was taking the picture.
|
|
Supplies Needed for more Kits for Days for Girls
- We need lots more Girl underpants – size 10 – 12 – 14
- We need more 100% cotton fabric for the bags and shields.
- We need more 100% cotton flannel in dark colors for the pads.
- And we need more sewers!

Congratulations, Eli Solt! |
|
Heart of Longmont has a star cinematographer. Eli has won two “Best Cinematography” awards for an independent movie “Safe House 1618”. He won an award from Indiefare Film Festival and one from Masters of Cinema Film Festival.
The movie is a psychological thriller full of high intensity scenes. According to a press release Eli highlighted The Shining and It Comes At Night to precisely portray a tone of isolation.
We hope Hollywood doesn’t come calling too quickly! Way to go Eli!

Sam Gould biography for the special presentation for the
2022 PPP District Gathering
Sam Gould is a retired academician, consultant, and businessperson. He has served as a junior officer in the United States Air Force and a mid-level IT manager at a division of General Motors. After completion of doctoral studies at Michigan State University, Sam became professor of management and director of the business research center at the University of Texas at San Antonio. In 1985 Sam was appointed dean of the School of Business Administration at the University of Dayton, a Marianist Catholic institution in Ohio. Sam retired in 2005 and is currently dean emeritus at the University of Dayton, chair of the Board of Directors of Park State Bank & Trust and chair of the administrative council at Mountain View UMC. Sam also serves on the governing board of Community Partnership Family Resource Center, a nonprofit serving Teller County families.
As a young adult, Sam was introduced to the writings of Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Paul Tillich. This launched him on many decades of theological study. Sam has written two books in post-retirement. Faith Beyond Mere Belief was published in 2012. It draws from the theology, sociology, and psychology literature and differentiates between belief based and faith-based Christianity. In 2017 Being Christian in the Twenty-First Century was published. This book grew out of Sam’s concern for the dwindling numbers, and graying nature of mainline Protestant and Catholic congregations. “Being Christian” draws from biblical scholarship, theology, history, and archaeology to address the context for major Christian themes. Sam believes that the essence of Scripture can only be understood in the cultural matrix of the first century, and that Christianity can be more effectively communicated to modern minds if we engage in “straight talk” and leave behind the Christian “bathwater" which people are increasingly rejecting.
Sam and his wife Elaine have been married for 58 years, have three adult sons, and eight grandchildren. They have lived in Divide since 2006.

Volunteers needed for
HOL Sing-Along Group
|
|
Heart of Longmont’s Music Program would like to invite any and all interested music lovers to be part of a Sing-Along group to help lead the congregation whenever we sing a contemporary praise song as a hymn.
No extraordinary vocal abilities needed; just enthusiasm, willingness to help other people sing, and a desire to “make a joyful noise to the Lord.” This would be a loosely knit group that would flock merrily to the front for the praise song during Sunday worship. No rehearsal required; just a quick run-through before the service, with a recording provided for you to sing along with around the house during the week before.
If you would like more information, or would like to say “Sign me up!”, contact the church office.

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.
