GIVING OPPORTUNITIES
November Mission Moment:
Garden of Hope - November 15
Gardens of Hope is an initiative of the Michigan Conference to “plant seeds of hope” in Haiti. Jeremie Rising is one of its key partners. Jeremie Rising focuses on community resilience in this community that is located 100 miles north and west of Port au Prince.
All of Haiti, including Jeremie, were affected by the earthquake in 2010. Two members of this church were there at the time and returned the next 2 years. More tragedies and problems have come to the country since then. Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, and the resources and aid to that area were slow in coming.
Even now, it is in dire need of financial and other support. Jeremie Rising is focusing on helping the area by supporting healthcare initiatives, education and agriculture. Monies given will give those in Jeremie hope for the future.
This is Jeremie, Haiti.
The next RED BAG SUNDAYS are
November 1 and December 6, 2026
Would you like to give the gift of food to help local neighbors? We collect food on the first Sunday of the month, often in available red reusable bags. Thus the name, Red Bag Sunday! All that is collected goes to the local food pantry, Cros-Lex Project Blessing, for distribution.
Thank You from
The Society of St. Andrew, September's Mission Moment
Greetings, Lexington UMC! You know that good food goes to waste in fields if it's not gleaned and shared. So you've partnered with Society of St. Andrew to make sure that nutritious, freshfruits and veggies get to our neighbors who need them most. Thank you!
Already this year, because of your generosity, 42,000 pounds(!) of fresh producehas been shared in Michigan with folks facing hunger. Thank you! By keeping this good, nutritious food from being lost to a landfill, you are protecting God's good creation for future generations."Plants grew out of the earth...trees grew with their fruit...and God saw that it was good." Genesis 1:12. The delicious flavors and rainbow of colors in seasonal fresh foods improve health for families and plant hope in communities!
Thank you for expressing your faith, care for creation, and love of neighbor. Partnership with you is a joy!
In Christ, Pastor Jennifer Davis Sensenig Director of Church Relations

Everyone is Welcome
First Time to Lexington United Methodist Church?
Church can be an intimidating place to visit for the first time— especially if you don’t know what to expect. We invite you to experience what the gospel means in mind, body & spirit at one of our Sunday worship services. You can engage with others as much as you want, or remain anonymous if you prefer. We hope that through visiting with us, you will experience the hope, love, and joy that comes from a community of people who love Jesus.
4th Sunday Fundays are Here!
All ages gather in a relaxed worship space created to bring all ages together and experience worship and faith formation together. Young disciples experience a meaningful message, create something that helps them connect to God, and help lead worship. And there are snacks! Every student gets a packet to take home with lessons and activities to help them learn about God, Jesus and the Church.
Children of all ages are always welcome in the sanctuary. Children of all ages are welcome to participate in Holy Communion which is on the first Sunday of each month.
If you have any questions contact Genie Bank
