March 7 is the first Sunday of the month and it looks like

The church library has been closed since mid-March of 2020. Because the Library Committee has not been able to work in the library and we are about out of shelf space, we request that no new donations be made to the library. Thank you.

~The Library Committee

The Methodist Church continued to grow. A driving force behind yet another move came in 1954, when a survey by the Iliff School of theology noted that “although the membership was composed of exceptionally high educational abilities and interest, the church lacks facilities to care for the varied needs of a large membership.”

Rising to the challenge, our congregation initiated a complete relocation building project. Five acres of farm land were purchased at the present church site and plans were drawn for a building budgeted at $350,000. The groundbreaking, fund-raising and construction of the present building are within the memory of some current members of the congregation.

There was a lively, vocal debate – and disagreement – over the site’s location! Church officials received many complaints from older members of the church because the proposed site was “way out in the country”, and they would “never” be able to attend religious services. This resulted in the organization of a free taxi service by car owners, so anyone needing transportation to any church service or meeting could call the church office and request assistance. It is true that change is in fact tumultuous; it is equally true that God has seen us through changing, challenging times.

In 1959, with the new building almost complete, members of the congregation began the Herculean task of moving almost 60 years of accumulated heritage from the 4th and Terry location to the new 11th and Emery location some fifteen blocks away. At the Consecration Service and Open House for the new church, held on November 22, 1959, parishioners were greeted by the special stained-glass balcony window. Unseen by the congregation prior to that day, the “Miracle Window” (designed and built in Germany) was installed overnight before services, much to everyone’s delight. Astoundingly, the mortgage on this building was retired in only 10 years! How richly God blessed us in making it possible to overcome our indebtedness so quickly!

Book Study: Holding Up Your Corner

On Sunday April 11, we will start a new book study using Holding Up Your Corner as the foundation of our discussion. Written by F. Willis Johnson, this book provides a framework to how we can support people who have been victims of racial bias. Granted, many of us struggle to see how we can be part of the "solution" in addressing systemic race issues that have been in the headlines. After all, we live in Longmont Colorado. Our community, largely Anglo-European, has a higher percentage of Hispanics than blacks and our life experiences do not mirror experiences in other parts of our country.

This book gives us a process, and through our discussion we will find ways to make a difference, and find ways to put more of God’s love into the world.

For five weeks, we will meet for 90 minutes on Sunday afternoons from 2:30PM-4:00PM (note this is different than last published). The team recognizes that May 9 is Mother’s Day; accordingly, week five of the study will be on May 16.

To register for the class, please click here. We will be providing each registrant a participant book. In order to get the participant books in time for the first class, we ask that you register no later than March 18.

Join us for a special Lenten study on praying in a busy, noisy world. This study began February 17, and we will gather via zoom every Wednesday at 2PM until March 31 to develop our spiritual discipline of prayer.

Listen, by Rueben P. Job, is a 40-day experience created to offer help to those new to prayer, those with a daily prayer routine, and those whose lives seem too busy to pray. With a focus on listening prayer and prayer as a two-way conversation, the experience will assist individuals and groups in building and deepening a personal prayer practice and spiritual discernment.

You can order the study book from Amazon or Cokesbury. But even if you don’t have the book, join us for the zoom discussion every Wednesday at 2:00 through March 31. 

March will be Heart of Longmont's designated month for food contributions to the OUR CENTER. Your United Methodist Women have come up with an idea that might make it easier and/or fun to add an item a day to a box for 30 days during LENT beginning on February 17th. Our Kiteley neighbors will once again be invited to participate as well. THEN, on March 19th, the last day, you can bring your box to the church between 1 and 3 PM. IF YOU CANNOT BRING YOUR BOX, please call Lynn Greenhalge at 303-651-3911 and we'll arrange to come get it. This is yet another way our congregation is putting more of God's love into the world.

Thank you for your support!

ALSO, Butch is looking for folks to video record a short interview with. These interviews are shown during Sunday service.  Interviews are short (one-to-two minutes) and are a gift to the congregation to be able to see and hear friends we haven’t seen in close to a year

Your United Methodist Women would like the congregation to know that if someone needs something and can’t--or shouldn’t--go out please contact Lynn Greenhalge at 303-651-3911 or halge@aol.com. We will get it taken care of! If you just need someone to chat with please let us know that as well! We’ll give you a “phone buddy”!

We need to stick together in these trying times and we want you to know we’re here for you, our church.

We'd love to share your stories! Send your submission to communications@heartoflongmont.org with "Pulse" in the subject line.

If you come to the office you will need to wear a mask and use the hand sanitizer inside the office doors. We may need to limit the number of people in the office at any one time. 

You can always call Carol at the church office, 303-776-3523 during those days and times. Or you can email her anytime at office@heartoflongmont.org.
