Plants for a Mission
2016-05-08 08:00 - 12:00 | Resurrection Church, 615 15th Street West, Hastings, 55033, United States
Plants for a Mission is a fundraising event taking place at Hastings UMC to support our Christian brothers and sisters at St. Joseph Alamano Church in Kenya. While this church has no running water or electricity, it is full-to-bursting with love for the Lord. Over the past years, donations sent to St. Joseph Alamano Church have been used to purchase windows for their church, musical instruments for the children and a very simple battery-powered public address system used in their church.
100% of the proceeds collected at this event will be sent to St. Joseph Alamano Church in Kenya. This year’s donations will be used to help fund and build a church-connected school.
Available this year with a free-will donation:
– Tomatoes (regular, heirloom, cherry) and green peppers
– Herbs (basil, parsley)
– Variety of flowers
– Houseplants

Early Response Basic Training Course - La Crescent
2016-05-07 08:30 | La Crescent United Methodist Church, 520 N Elm Street, La Crescent, 55947
Early Response Teams (ERT) fill a specific need in the days soon after a natural disaster. ERTs remove debris, clean out flood-damaged homes, and otherwise help to prevent further property damage while providing a caring Christian presence. ERT volunteers are different from general volunteers because we are trained, have security background checks and are entirely self-sufficient. Since 1997 ERT trained volunteers have worked at 18 Minnesota disasters and responded five times to disasters in other states. The course, taught by UMCOR certified instructors, provides the basic skills for you to become a member of the Early Response Team. The course will be taught at La Crescent United Methodist Church.
Cost: $20.00 includes ERT training materials, lunch, snacks and UMCOR Photo ID (no fee if you are taking it for recertification.)
Registration Deadline: May 02, 2016 12:00 AM
Contact Traci Woolard (tjwool@hotmail.com) with any questions.

GriefShare
2016-04-14 10:30 - 12:00 | Resurrection Church, 615 15th Street West, Hastings, 55033, United States
Healing from your grief is not easy.
GriefShare is for people grieving the death of a family member or friend. It’s a friendly, caring group of people who will walk alongside you through one of life’s most difficult experiences. You don’t have to go through the grieving process alone. The GriefShare group meets weekly through April 14 to help you face these challenges and move toward rebuilding your life.

Each GriefShare session has three distinct elements:
Video seminar with experts
Each week your GriefShare group will watch a video seminar featuring top experts on grief and recovery subjects. These videos are produced in an interesting television magazine format featuring expert interviews, real-life case studies, dramatic reenactments, and on-location video.
Support group discussion with focus
After viewing the video, you and the other group members will spend time as a support group, discussing what was presented in that week’s video seminar and what is going on in your lives.
Personal study and reflection
During the week you will have the opportunity to use your workbook for further personal study of the grieving process and to help sort out your emotions through journaling. Your group will spend time discussing questions and comments from the workbook study.
Begin attending the GriefShare group at any session.
Each is “self-contained,” so you do not have to attend in sequence. You will find encouragement and help whenever you begin. There is a $10 fee for materials and scholarships are available if cost is an issue.
