ISSUE 31, VOLUME 4CONNECTIONSJULY 20,2025STOUT MEMORIAL UMCWE EXIST TO SEE ALL PEOPLE FIND HOPE, HEALING AND WHOLENESS THROUGH JESUS CHRIST. Serving with Love on 2nd Sunday We’re so grateful for our Stout Memorial UMC members who helped serve at the Second Sunday Community Dinner at St. Paul’s UMC yesterday. From preparing meals to offering kind smiles and warm conversations, our volunteers showed the heart of Christ in action. These dinners are more than just a meal—they’re a place of welcome, care, and connection for everyone in our community. Thank you to St. Paul's United Methodist Church for hosting and to all who made this act of service possible. When we come together, we share not only food but also hope and grace.

While churches like St. Paul’s and Fellowship Baptist are frequently mentioned, Stout doesn’t always show up in the conversation.Let’s change that! A simple comment or recommendation from you can make a big difference.
