Join us this summer as we let familiar bible stories from our childhood teach us about how we should live. 

As we remember Moses and the Red Sea… Samson and Delilah… Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego… and many others - we will learn about the ways the Spirit of God empowers us to make a difference. Through the fruits of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness, and self-control, God graces us with the ability to act and respond in ways we never thought possible. 

This year, our United Methodist Women’s Mission Luncheon featured a speaker from Women at the Well.  Pastor Marlene Janssen shared with us her work on the Outside Council of the congregation at the Iowa Correctional Institute for Women in Mitchellville, Iowa.

We began our collection at this event of clothing and toiletries to be sent to the women’s prison for those who leave and will continue to do so throughout July.

Sunday, June 6th, Rev. Katie Z. Dawson was ordained at the Iowa Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church.  Fifteen others were ordained at that conference alongside our pastor.  Many came from the church to celebrate and to witness this wonderful event! Bishops Trimble, Kulah, and Job were a part of the laying on of hands.  More pictures will be coming as you send them in!!!

As a church, we will celebrate with a potluck brunch on Sunday, June 13th!  Bring something to share as you come and worship with us at 9:00am this Sunday!
