MORE GIVING OPPORTUNITIES
July 6 is Native American Ministries Sunday!
United Methodists are called to recognize and honor the gifts and contributions made by Native Americans to our society and church. The United Methodist Church acknowledges a gap in understanding Native American life and culture, while affirming the sacredness of Indigenous peoples, their languages, their unique identities and their contributions to the church and the world. Contributions help develop and strengthen Native American ministries within each United Methodist annual conference and provide scholarships for Native Americans pursuing ordained or licensed ministry. Last year, almost $240,000 was raised to support these vital ministries through the Native American Ministries offering:
​
* 50% of the funds collected on Native American Ministries Sunday stay within the annual conference to support Native American
ministries.
​
* 25% of donations fund scholarships for Native Americans pursuing ordained or licensed ministry at any approved
theological school.
​
* 25% of donations collected are allocated
to develop impactful programs.

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.
