JOIN US FOR PRAISE IN THE PARK!
You're invited — no strings, no potluck dish required!
Have you ever driven past a church and wondered what it's actually like inside? This September, there's no "inside" to wonder about — we're taking worship outside to the park, and we'd love for you to come exactly as you are.
Join us for Praise in the Park on Sunday, September 13th at 10:00 AM at Ogden City Park — a tailgate-themed morning of music, games, and good company.
If you're new, here's all you need to know: just show up. You don't need to bring a dish. You don't need to know a single hymn. You don't need to dress up (though we'd love to see your favorite team's colors!). Pull up a lawn chair, and let our Praise Band and this community welcome you.
There's a meal to follow — provided by our members — and a spot at the table with your name on it. We're also kicking off our kids' Fall Faith Formation classes, so families, this is a wonderful morning to check us out.
Come be our guest. Bring the kids, bring a friend, or just bring yourself. However you arrive, you are welcome here.
Sewers We Need YOU!
Calling All Sewers: Help Us Build Student Kits
If you can run a sewing machine, we need you.
This year our Missions team is assembling Student Kits for Midwest Mission — bags of school supplies that travel to children around the world and close to home. Each kit holds notebooks, pencils, crayons, scissors, and more, all carried in a handmade one-handled cloth bag. That bag is the piece we need most: when none is available, kits go out in plain grocery sacks, but a bag sewn by hand turns a bundle of supplies into something a child can carry with pride.
The handmade bags are our single biggest need — and something you can make right at home. To the left are the instructions.
Whether you make one bag or a dozen, every one helps a child start the school year ready to learn. Please drop off finished bags at Community United Methodist Church, 337 SW 2nd Street, Ogden, Iowa, by October 11, or contact the church office with any questions. Thank you for sharing your gifts to bless children we may never meet.
Sundays are only the beginning……
Join us the rest of the week too!
