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 $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. The goal for our church is to raise $400 or more by the end of May. This $400 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.

On Sunday, May 5^th the Senior Nutrition Center will be hosting their annual Soup & Pie Luncheon from 11am-1pm.  A free will donation will be accepted.

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. Sign up sheets will be placed in the kitchen in the near future.

There is a need for 2,000 dresses by June 2013 to go to Sri Lanka for distribution when the Logos Hope ship ports there. If you’d like to sew dresses for upcoming trips-they’re easy to make! The project is sponsored by Operation Mobilization and Dress a Girl Around the World. Lisa Cutler has volunteered to put together kits to make these dresses so they can be sent out. Please contact Lisa (294-5342) if you are willing to help this project.
