In May, the Heppner United Methodist Church
received a $600 grant from the Oregon-ldaho Conference
of United Methodists. The grant is for what is called
“Igniting Ministries.”
According to Diann Nagel who applied for this
grant, the money from the grant will be used to send out
two church members to call on new and existing community
members, tell them about the church, its new website, and
invite them to attend Sunday services and other church
activities. These visitations will begin in late August.
The Methodist church has many varied activities
taking place throughout the year. Examples of these
activities include children’s Sunday school every Sunday
morning, once a month potlucks after church except in the
summertime, a Heppner Methodist Women’s group that
meets once a month, and a Thursday lunchtime bible study
and prayer group. Coming this fall, a bible study group
called “Reading the Bible in a Year” will be added. Fund
raising activities include a fall bazaar and luncheon, and a
June indoor yard sale.
Nagel says, “Each family visited will be given a
church mug with a picture of the church and other church
information on it. We want to reach those who may not
have been contacted by another church, or who have resided
here for a number of years but have never chosen a church
to attend and let them know that they are always welcome
at Heppner United Methodist Church.

Heppner Methodist Women to hold

On Saturday, June 9, the Heppner Methodist Women will once again hold their
annual “Indoor Yard Sale.” The sale will be held from 9 a.m. to l p.m. in the basement of
the Heppner Methodist Church. There will be lots of bargains, but no early sales.
In previous years, there has been an excellent selection of gently used goods
including exercise equipment, linens, kitchen and household items as well as a good
selection of tools which is expected again this year as every church member has been
finding items to donate. There also will be many miscellaneous items.
Money from this sale will be used for youth programs, repairs and refurbishment

Methodist women appreciate all the support that is received from our community.
