Thoughts to Ponder:

A difficult time can be more readily endured if we retain the conviction that our existence holds a purpose—a cause to pursue, a person to love, a goal to achieve.         John Maxwell

Hecla UMC will be priming and painting the church in May, weather cooperating. The approximate cost of the primer/paint is $1600. Trustees and the Admin Council are requesting donations to help with this cost, as well as volunteers to help with the painting over a couple of weekends. You may bring your donations and place them in the offering with a designation for paint or give the donation to Judy Lloyd. Thank you in advance for participating and helping with this project—your help (both of time and money) make a big difference.

Hecla began “Exploring the Fruit of the Spirit” by Beth Moore on Tuesday, May  10^th. The next session will be Tuesday, May 24^th at 7PM.  The study focuses on the characteristics of the Holy Spirit and how we are to live them out as faithful followers of Christ.  

The Beth Moore study, “A Heart Like His-a study of David” began on Thursday, May 12^th  in Claremont. The next session is on May 26^th. It’s not too late to join in this study. Come and join in this study and grow in your faith.
