Dear Minnesota United Methodist Builders and Friends,
“Lord, you have been our dwelling place throughout all generations.”
– Psalm 90:1
Every spring and fall, the Board of Directors of the Minnesota United Methodist Builders reviews applications and selects one project in the Minnesota Conference to be the recipient of our Call grant. We are very pleased to announce that the 2018 Spring Call grant is in support of Cannon Falls Christ United Methodist Church and their need to upgrade their entrance foyer to be more welcoming to new families entering the church for the first time, as well as for the after worship fellowship, Bible study, and meetings that take place there.
Christ UMC has stood on the road between Randoph, where the congregation had been worshiping, and Cannon Falls, since the new building was constructed in 2002. After that time they have been able to create new classroom space and upgrade their childcare and nursery areas. Now Christ Church is asking for our support as they continue to enhance the foyer of their facility, before they begin a new capital campaign to build an educational wing onto their sanctuary.
The enclosed brochure for the 2018 Spring Call describes in more detail both the mission and ministry of Cannon Falls Christ UMC and their plans for the rehab of their foyer area.
You may send your check in the enclosed envelope to help Cannon Falls Christ UMC be the “dwelling place” for all the generations in their part of Minnesota. Please make checks payable to the Minnesota United Methodist Builders, noting “2018 Spring Call.” You may also donate online by visiting our website at https://MnUMB.org.
On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Minnesota United Methodist Builders, I invite you to be part of this 2018 Spring Call request.
Blessings,
Rev. Larry W. Mens, Field Director
