“The United Methodist Builders Call for Walker Community UMC is an example of United Methodist connectionalism.Walker is rebuilding to nurture spirituality, build caring community, and work courageously for peace with justice and mercy. Our wider United Methodist community is showing its continued support for our ministry during these challenging times.”
– Rev. Walter Lockhart, Walker Community UMC
“The Metro West Fall Call grant was instrumental in helping Spirit of Hope install the new playground system used by the children of the church and of Sunshine Valley. Without this generous donation we would not have been able to break ground last fall on the new playground and we would still be using the out of date equipment. We feel so blessed to have received your assistance.”
– Sharon Gebell, Director Sunshine Valley Child Care
“Every month, Minnehaha UMC’s food ministries help more than 1,500 of our neighbors in need. The Builder’s grant helped us renovate our entry, bathrooms, hallways and heating system to better support our members and our missions. It has been a real blessing. Thank you.”
– Dean Ammerman, Chair Building Committee
“Thanks to the Metro Builders Call, New Day has been attracting young families with its use of technology and an interactive touch screen. They use their SmartBoard not only for worship, but also for discipleship classes and even Family Fun Day events. One new member describes the difference this way…”I feel that this is truly a church of the future, not one stuck in the past. That matters, especially to my kids!”
– Janet Beard, New Day United Methodist Church
