Lay Servant Training
| Join us on March 28-29 for the spring session of Lay Servant training. This training is for anyone who would like to deepen their faith and serve their church more effectively. Offered for all the churches in the North Central District, it will be held at Lost Creek United Methodist Church. Located in Perkins, this location is particularly convenient for those in our congregation. The training will begin on Friday evening and will continue through 4:30 pm on Saturday. The cost is $40, if registered by March 16. After that, the cost goes to $45. Here is the link to register. The entry level course will be taught by Pastor Charla Gwartney. If you've never participated in Lay Servant ministries, you should start with the Basic Course. Two advanced courses will also be offered: Becoming an Accountable Disciple (taught by Pastor Cindy Robertson Riedel) and Discovering Your Spiritual Gifts. If you have questions, please reach out to Pastor Charla or Cheryl Long. |

Rise Against Hunger Lenten Emphasis
Total raised so far: $1969.00
Throughout the season of Lent, we are raising funds for Rise Against Hunger, along with our sister UMC congregations: Eden Chapel, Highland Park, Lost Creek, Perkins First. During the season of Lent, it is traditional for Christians to make a sacrifice...maybe that favorite cup of coffee, Sonic drink, entertainment outing, one meal a week, etc. The money saved can be donated to the Rise Against Hunger Lenten project. Our community goal is to raise $10,000 by Easter Sunday. These funds will then be used for a meal packaging event in May. We aim to package over 24,000 meals that will be sent around the world where food is scarce.
