Opportunities to Grow, Serve & Share

Minot Faith UMC sustained irreparable damage to their facilities last spring and summer during the floods. Despite the disaster and the devastating effects it had on the community as well; these faithful United Methodist’s have continued to be active in serving Christ. They have kept their food pantry open to help those in the community and have kept up with all of their financial obligations. At this point in time they are facing a building project. Land has been selected for purchased and plans are being made to build on a new site. In order to make these first steps happen, they need to raise $415,000 by July 21st. Sunday, July 15th has been designated as Minot Miracle Sunday. On that day a special offering will be received to help our brothers and sisters in Christ in Minot rebuild, not just a building, but a place of worship where they are able to continue to serve our Lord in mighty ways. Prayerfully consider how God is calling you to respond to this request.

Side Walk Sunday School will be held July 23rd through July 27th. Hecla will meet from -, Claremont will meet from and Britton will meet from .
Please be in prayer as we prepare to bring the message of God’s steadfast love to the children in our church and community.

There will be a joint service between Britton, Claremont and Hecla on Sunday, July 29th. The service will be at at Hecla City Park and will be followed by a potluck lunch. Mark your calendars and share in worship, food, fellowship and fun.

Pastor Nancy is in the process of updating addresses, phone numbers and email addresses members and constituents of the three churches. Please let Pastor know, either by note or email, your updated phone number, address and email.
