STOUT MEMORIAL UNITED METHODIST CHURCH ConnectionsISSUE 13, VOLUME 4 March 16, 2025 WE EXIST TO SEE ALL PEOPLE FIND HOPE, HEALING AND WHOLENESS THROUGH JESUS CHRIST. Mission In MotionMission in Motion is a dynamic initiative of the West Virginia Conference of The United Methodist Church (WVUMC) that reimagines and revitalizes the former "Celebration of Mission Event." This initiative is dedicated to supporting conference-affiliated mission projects, outreach efforts, fundraising, and storytelling that highlight the transformative impact of mission work within the Conference. Through Mission in Motion, churches and individuals are invited to actively engage in mission through hands-on service, financial giving, and sharing stories of how God is at work in their communities. The initiative fosters collaboration, inspires generosity, and strengthens connections between local churches and mission partners. Walk, count your steps, have others pledge something per step you take.Call the District Office to register304-428-6461Pastor Helen’s Weekly ScripturePsalm 27Luke 13:31-35THIS WEEK AT STOUT *Sunday, March 16 8:45am Contemporary Worship 9:45am Sunday School 10:45am Traditional Worship *Monday, March 17 6:30pm Cub Scouts 7 pm Troop 12 7 pm Girl Scouts *Tuesday, March 18 10:00 amLydia/Rachel Circle *Wednesday, March 19 10:00 am Bible Study 11:15am Lunch With Friends 6 pm Bible Study 7 pm Chancel Choir *Thursday, March 20 *Friday, March 21 Old Man Rivers Desserts *Saturday, March 22 Old Man Rivers Deliveries **COMING SOON** March 25—6:00 pm Committee meetings7:00 pm Church Council in Fellowship HallMay 2-3 — UWF Yard Sale May 10—Blue and Gold Graduation Volunteers are needed for Old Man Rivers Desserts and Deliveries this coming weekend March 21st and 22nd.

Our United Methodist brothers and sisters have donated cleaning buckets, time and energy on work teams and financial donations. We want to be a part of this! There will always be a need for cleaning buckets. Your Stout Mission Team has recently learned a cabin at Crossroads is being prepped for storage of cleaning buckets. These buckets cost approximately $55 each to fill. We are asking for your donations over the next five weeks to help us “Fill the Buckets”. Please mark on an envelope “Fill the Buckets” with $55 or any amount and donate at either service. Thank you and keep all those affected by the floods in your prayers.-Stout Mission Team THANK YOU! The flowers are beautiful, thank you for thinking of us.
