HOL Welcomes Children and Youth |
|
This church has a long history of caring for children and youth in our church community as well as the community at large: |
|
- Sunday School
- Nursery care
- Vacation Bible School
- Headstart/Wild Plum
|
|
- Children’s Hand Chime Choir
- BASICS, a weekly youth fellowship
- Kids Hope
- Youth Mission trips
|
|
In an effort to boost our ministry with children and youth in our congregation, a few people, called the Children and Youth’s Cohort, were recruited to work with Misty, Emily and Rev. David. The Cohort is made up of Joan Edmonds, Richard and Lisa Fusia, Butch Howard, Angie Roberts, Brad Schol, and Mary Ann Watson. To help with this we have enlisted the aid of Rev. Leanne Hadley, a UM pastor who has specialized in Children and Family ministry for many years. Thanks to Zoom technology, the Children’s Cohort has been meeting with Rev. Hadley monthly since October, 2020. She has listened as we talked about our successes and concerns. She has provided us with resources and many ideas. Most importantly she has reminded us that children are spiritual beings – not empty vessels to be filled with church doctrine or Biblical facts. With this in mind we are working to do the following:
- Be Holy Listeners when talking with children at church.
- Try to integrate children more fully in the congregation’s activities, mission and worship.
- Recognize the difficult job parenting is and offer support to families.
Some recent changes you may note:
- Music playing after the children’s sermon time as Rev. David takes a moment to bless each child, reminding them they are a beloved child of God.
- The children and youth taking the lead in our mission of the Blessing Box.
- Delivering Easter Baskets to our youth during the COVID shut-down.
- To support our children’s families, making calls or emails regularly to say our congregation cares for them and that their child is important to our church.
- 
You are encouraged to learn the names of our children and youth and speak to them by name. If you want to do more, contact anyone in the cohort for more information. Check out what Jesus told his disciples in Matt. 19:13-15 and Mark 10:13-16. Today, we are disciples of Jesus.

As children from Wild Plum, church school and the neighborhood play in the front lawn play ground, the teachers, parents, grandparents will find a new place to sit and relax. As a part of our Anniversary year projects, the 150th Anniversary Committee has provided a new bench for the playground area. |

Worshiping, singing, eating, visiting - All were a part of our 150th Celebration Sunday. The old fashioned clothes, laughs and smiles showed the joy of celebrating 150 years of the Methodist Church in Longmont. Many thanks go to ALL who planned, sewed, created, decorated, cooked, sang, spoke and a multitude of other ways that made for a very special day. It was truly a day to "rejoice and be glad". |

Xeriscape Landscaping
On West Side of Building
|
|
Our trustees have arranged with Aiden Puckett from the scout troop our church sponsors to convert the area north of the main entrance to a xeriscaped area. This will be part of his Eagle Scout project.
Xeriscaping is the process of landscaping, or gardening, that reduces or eliminates the need for irrigation. Xeriscapes can reduce water consumption by 60% or more compared to regular lawn landscapes. The plan is to have the area completed prior to the start of the school year.

Health Coverage Help Available |
|
Many in our community are struggling to afford health coverage and have no idea where to turn for guidance and assistance. The federal American Rescue Plan (ARP) is reducing health care costs, expanding access to coverage, and helping those who buy their own health insurance through an insurance marketplace—like Connect for Health Colorado—reduce premiums even more. The Boulder County Enrollment Center’s team of bi-lingual Health Coverage Guides offer appointments for free, unbiased assistance to help people enroll in health insurance that meets their needs.

OUR Center Needs Egg Cartons |
|
Please save your egg cartons - all types - for the OUR Center. They receive eggs in big boxes with flats of 2.5 dozen. They then need to separate them into the regular egg cartons of a dozen. This is another way of recycling!!! Bring them to the church and leave them in the airlock and I will take them to the OUR Center.
Thanks for sharing,
Marty Allison
