MissionsSpecial request from North Macedonia: Jennifer Moore, our Covenant Missionary there, reports critical needs at the Miss Stone Social Center in Strumica (pictured right). Named after a US missionary, this United Methodist ministry runs a home-health program, food pantry that feeds 220 elderly and disadvantaged every day, as well as 2 other feeding programs, and a school for Roma children. The Center wants to feed these children since schools are closed. Please read more here. Your donation of $15 will feed one person for a week; $60 for a month. Our goal is to raise $1000 in May. Please mail checks to the church with notation "N. Macedonia Covid," give online or text any amount to "N.MacedoniaCovid" to 970-238-1030.
Our missions team is currently sewing masks for our immune-compromised members, as well as 3 Banner Health hospitals in Northern Colorado, Columbine Commons and Windsor Healthcare. In the past 2 weeks, we have collected over 400 masks! If you sew and would like to join us, please contact Heather Golden.
We are grateful to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, Windsor and Arvada Stakes, and the Arvada United Methodist Church, as well as countless individuals for sewing with us! We would also like to thank Our Lady of the Valley Catholic Church, and St. Alban's Episcopal Church for your generous support of our efforts to thank all of the environmental services (custodial) staff at Banner Health in northern Colorado with $25 grocery gift cards. These made a huge impact on those taking risks to keep our healthcare workers and patients safe and clean! We have many other mission and service projects year-round, and welcome your support! From one-hour ministries to long-term involvement, there is something for everyone, and all are welcome! |

MusicOur Chancel Choir sings the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Sundays of every month, usually from August until May. We look forward to them returning after the pandemic, and possibly staying through the normal summer break?
Servant's Call, our praise band, usually sings the 1st and 5th Sundays. Both groups rehearse on Wednesday evenings. During the pandemic, if you have special music you would like to share or record, we are grateful for your talent! For more information or to join us in song, please contact Music Director, Megan Mellenthien. |
Boy ScoutsFor the last 30 years, the First United Methodist Church of Windsor has been the charter organization for Boy Scout Troop 88, and now for Troop 888, one of the first family troops (including female Scouts) in Northern Colorado!
We celebrate Scouting Sunday every February, usually with our Scouts leading worship and preparing delicious Monkey Bread for us. If you would like to learn more about scouting, we'd be happy to welcome you! |
