The Bishop of the Dakotas Conference, Rev. Bruce Ough, is calling for all churches in the conference to participate in a Miracle offering to be received at the Annual Conference to help with a mission project in the oil fields of ND. The Bishop’s goal is to raise at least $100,000 to jumpstart this mission opportunity God has placed in our backyard. During the month of May, a special offering will be gathered to support this project.  This special offering  is above and beyond the Sunday Offerings. Please prayerfully consider how God is calling you to respond to this call to action in spreading God’s message of love and grace.

The Hecla United Methodist Church will be hosting the Hecla Memorial Day Service and luncheon on Monday, May 27th. Donations are being requested to cover the cost of the food for the luncheon.  Each family is also asked to bring a pan of bars. In addition volunteers will be needed to set up, serve and tear down. Donations may be given to Judy Lloyd.

You are invited to an Open House on Sunday, May 26^th,  from 5:00pm-8:00pm, at the Hecla Community Center to celebrate the graduation of Randy Lloyd from the SD School of Mines and Technology on May 4^th.

A special offering will be gathered on Sunday, June 2^nd to support the recovery efforts in Oklahoma after the tornado on May 20^th. UMCOR is on the scene helping folks begin the recovery process.
