GIVING OPPORTUNITIES
August Mission Moment:
God’s Country Community Ministries
God’s Country Community Ministries serves the eastern Upper Peninsula of Michigan across a 2,500-square-mile region. This area stretches from Engadine near Lake Michigan north to Paradise at Whitefish Bay, west to
Grand Marais on the southern shore of Lake Superior, and includes the
communities of McMillan, Germfask, Newberry, and Hulbert.
While this region is known for its natural beauty, the people who live here face significant challenges. Geographic isolation, long and severe winters, and limited job opportunities make life difficult. Compared with more densely populated areas, residents often have far fewer resources and support available to them.
God’s Country Community Ministries began through the shared efforts of seven communities in God’s Country
Cooperative Parish. By combining their resources, sharing their faith, and remaining actively present in their communities, they worked to bring hope, dignity, and encouragement to people throughout the region. Over time, that mission has expanded through partnerships across denominations, growing into what is now God’s Country Community Ministries.
The next RED BAG SUNDAYS are
August 2 and
September 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.
FRIDAY COMMUNITY LUNCH
Planning Group
We've made great progress and will meet again on Tuesday August 11 at 10 am to finalize details for the second lunch on Friday Augst 28, 2026. If you'd like to be a part of this exciting ministry you are welcome to join us.

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
