The Amazing Generosity of Colfax United Methodist Church
Twelve families, including 19 children, aren’t going hungry over the weekends because of the generosity of the people of the Colfax United Methodist Church and other congregations in the community. “We just knew that there was a need,” says Rev. Terry Pollard, “and we’ll take care of it for however long it needs to be.” He was amazed when in just two sort days his church raised almost double the financial goal they’d set…and they do more than just raise a few benevolent dollars. “We have several people in our church who get together to pack food for the families to pick up on Friday mornings,” Pollard said, “and that helps get them through the weekends.”

'We're Going to Get Through this Together'
“We’ve got to acknowledge that this is Holy Week, and that it’s going to be different, but that we’re still going to go through it together.” That’s how Rev. Nate Nims, Senior Pastor of Grace United Methodist Church describes the sacred journey from Palm Sunday to Easter. Even in a time of physical distancing the Grace community is connecting with each other, whether by children waving their colored palm activity sheets in their homes during the service or the contacts made among friends in “bridge the gap” groups. Worshipping together, via Facebook has led to 500,000 interactions, thousands of viewings of posted videos, and a 400% increase in their website traffic. Even though physically distanced in the midst of the Coronavirus health crisis, “we’re trusting that God will still be God” says Rev. Nims, and “those things that we have taken for granted just won't be taken for granted anymore…the connections that we have with one another are so important.”

Grimes Storehouse Steps Up in Crisis Times
“A record number of people have been cared for this month by the Grimes Storehouse,” reports Pastor Ben Wedeking…and he expects that the need will continue to increase. The Grimes Storehouse is “a community food pantry that feeds the whole person, and it does so partnering with other churches in the community. From sewing face masks to extending a helping hand with individual needs, Grimes UMC is poised, notes Pastor Ben, “to rise up and be the hands and feet of Jesus” for a community, and a world, in crisis.
