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 purchase 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 21^st. Sunday, July 15^th 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. This is what being ‘connectional’ as UM’s is all about. Prayerfully consider how God is calling you to respond to this request.

Side Walk Sunday School will be held July 23^rd through July 26^th. Hecla will meet from 9am-Noon, Claremont will meet from 1pm-4pm and Britton will meet from 5-8pm. This is for children and youth aged 4 through 6^th grade.

Please be in prayer as we prepare to bring the message of God’s steadfast love to the children in our church and community. Volunteers are needed for supervision and snacks.

  Our focus for the 5^th Sunday Mission Offering will be the Marshall County Food Pantry. You are invited to bring nonperishable food items to the churches during the month of July to help support the Food Pantry. During the summer months there is an increased need as the children do not receive the two meals per day at the school. Please prayerfully consider how God is calling you to respond. A special offering received during the July 29^th Worship will help the Food Pantry buy specific items that are in great demand. Thank you in advance for your generosity.
