Thoughts to Ponder

“Send your Word, O Lord, like the rain,

Falling down upon the earth.

Send your Word.

We seek your endless grace,

With souls that hunger and thirst,

Sorrow and agonize.

We would all be lost in dark

Without your guiding light.”

Hymn: “Send Your Word” by Yasushige Imakoma

The focus for the 5^th Sunday Offering in January is the Marshall County Food Pantry in Britton. Please bring your donations of non perishable food items or cash donations to church by Sunday, January 30^th. Thank you in advance for helping those in need in our communities. Your gifts are greatly appreciated.

The Youth Group of Hecla and Claremont has been invited to join Groton UMYF on a ski trip, February 19^th through the 21^st  at Storm Mountain. The cost is approximately $125 which will include lodging, meals, transportation, entrance to a indoor water park and cost of ski pass. Cost of food while traveling will be extra. If the youth are interested in participating, please contact Pastor Nancy by January 30^th. We will leave at 7AM from Groton UMC on Saturday morning and return after breakfast on Monday morning. 

The Bible Study “A Woman of Moderation” will begin in Hecla on Tuesday, February 1^st at 6:30PM. There is a maximum of 15 members for the class. The study will deal with how our eating habits and faith are linked. This is an 8 week study. Prayerfully consider if God is calling you to participate in this study.

Nominations Form:  Make a Difference with your gifts and talents

 The new Platform for Ministry adopted at last year's annual conference is in the process of coming together.  In this process is the need for the formation of temporary task forces, committees and work groups.  The nomination committee has put together an application form that gives all clergy and laity an opportunity to express an area of interest in which they would be willing to serve.  If you are interested please contact Pastor Nancy for information on getting the form.
