From Pastor Tony
Even though I am writing this a month and a half before September, I am looking forward to
some special things that will be happening at Fairmont UMC this fall.
Jenny Lewis, our Family Ministries Coordinator, has been busy working on reinvigorating the
small groups of our church. We are using a model that some of us who were at last spring’s
Southern Prairie District Day in Windom were taught. This model is from the book A ctivate,
and has had great success the last couple of years at Hilltop UMC in Mankato.
We will also be learning more about the Healthy Church Initiative (HCI) that Bishop Ough has invited us to be a part
of. Not every local church is ready to embark on this journey; however, the Cabinet and our bishop think the Fairmont
United Methodist Church has great potential and they would like us to use this great tool for us and our church.
The Healthy Church Initiative is an intensive process which involves attending learning sessions for the clergy and key
congregational leaders, completing a self-study, engaging in an outside consultation, and working with a coach to implement the recommendations. We will have our first HCI workshop for clergy and laity on Saturday, September 24th.
Throughout August and September more information about our small group ministry and HCI will be given.
I hope and pray that you are as joyfully expectant as I am when considering the wonderful possibilities that are before
us as a congregation!
I’ll be looking for you in church!
As we praise God together and Resound God’s Grace to all,
May God Bless Us!
OPERATION
CHRISTMAS
CHILD
Operation Christmas Child Shoe Box collections will take place at our
church again this fall. Thank you for your contributions and support
for the past 5 years. You helped put smiles on many children's
faces!!
It is that time of the year again when there are great sales in the
school supply aisles of most stores. Please keep in mind most of the
countries these boxes go to. Children are not allowed to even start
school without these supplies.
Hygiene items are greatly needed.
Imagine not being able to wash your face or brush your teeth each
day!! Also the summer t-shirts go on sale An item of clothing, age
appropriate for the box you are packing, may be included.
Please prayerfully consider filling a shoebox or bring items to the
church so we can fill the boxes in November. A table will be set up
in the narthex with samples of suggested items along with a box for
placing donated items in. We will be making the individual OCC boxes
available
sometime
in
September.
Thank you in advance for helping us out again this year and for
warming
the
hearts
of
the
less
fortunate
children.
If questions please feel free to contact Renee Poppee at 507-236-1582

Six from Fairmont UMC to Attend Leadership Institute in Kansas City at the
End of September
Our congregation will be sending several individuals to the United Methodist Church of the Resurrection’s
Leadership Institute in Leawood Kansas in September.
This is one of the largest mainline church training events in the country where more than 25,000 leaders over
the past 18 years have come to be equipped, renewed and inspired in God’s call to ministry in their life. Year
over year, church leaders return bringing a team in order to expand the impact of practical leadership principles and inspirational and visionary teaching with a spirit of renewal. Jenny Lewis and Pastor Tony attended
this training two years ago and highly recommend it to others.
More information about this event is below and at http://li.cor.org/
If you are interest in attending, please call the church office (235-5579), or talk to Jenny Lewis
([email protected]) or Pastor Tony ([email protected]).
Lean in to our mission of making disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world by investing in
your leadership and leaders of your church. Leaders with fresh ideas, renewed focus and rekindled hope for
the future are able to unleash the potential of a church and community.
Bring your ministry leaders to one of the largest mainline church training events in the country where more
than 25,000 leaders over the past 18 years have come to be equipped, renewed and inspired in God’s call to

Holy Communion at Goldfinch,
Lakeview, Lutz Wing and Ingleside in
September
Our church offers a monthly service of Holy
Communion at the Lakeview United Methodist
Heath Care Center and at
the Lutz Wing at Mayo
Clinic Health Systems –
Fairmont. Pastor Tony also
offers Holy Communion at
Goldfinch Estates and
Ingleside residence on a
rotating schedule.
These Eucharist services
are offered for the members of Fairmont United
Methodist Church and all the residents, staff and
friends who attend because the United Methodist
Church practices an open table for communion.
This month these services will be
10:00 Thursday, September 8th
at Goldfinch Estates.
2:00 Tuesday, September 13th
at the Lakeview United Methodist Health
Care Chapel with coffee following the
service.
Wednesday Bible Study
September is a great month to start something
new in your life to grow in your faith! Consider
our Wednesday Bible Study which is open to
all! Because many of the persons attending are
from the Lutz Wing, and this is an interesting
and lively study they look forward to each week,
we will continue to meet each week – including
the
month
of
September!
Come and join us!
Class will be offered on those Wednesdays which
Pastor Tony is in
Fairmont – see the
weekly church calendar
for individual dates.
This Bible study is for
beginners as well as
persons who have lots
of experience in the Bible.
We gather for a time of fellowship as well as to
deepen our faith and understanding of the Christian
life.
New persons join our class each week –
and we invite you to join us, too!
2:00 Thursday, September 15th
at Lutz Wing in the hospital Chapel.
We are now looking at the Acts of the Apostles.
You don’t even need to bring your Bible—Pastor
Tony prints up large print copies of each week’s
lesson for everyone to use.
2:00 Thursday, September 29th
at Ingleside residence (This service may be
rescheduled.)
Everyone is invited to attend these services and
enjoy the presence of Christ with the residents of
these care centers. This is a special way for
members of our congregation to be radical in our
hospitality and welcome to those who often can’t
make it to a church on Sundays.
We are now reading and learning about the early
days of the Church and the signs and wonders done
by those who followed Jesus, done in the name of
Jesus!
If you can’t make it to church and would like Pastor
Tony to bring Holy Communion to your home,

We meet Wednesday
afternoons from 1:00
until 2:00 in the Lutz
Wing Chapel.

A Report from the 2016 Summer Mission Trip
From July 30 to August 7 our church generously sent 22 people on a Mission Trip to Hancock County Tennessee with
the Appalachian Service Project. While we were in Tennessee we repaired 2 mobile homes for families. Our repair projects included putting up siding and installing outer trailer skirting, replacing ceilings, sheet rocking, finishing and
painting walls, tiling floors, and installing bathroom toilets and sinks.
On our way to Tennessee we spent the night in Indianapolis at a United Methodist Church that definitely knew how to
show extravagant hospitality. We enjoyed the tasty food at a “Steak and Shake” with the help of coupons that members of the congregation saved for us.
While in Tennessee we slept on cots and air mattresses in a local United Methodist community center where we were
fed delicious breakfasts and suppers and also picked up all our building materials for the day’s projects.
It was definitely not a trip for the faint hearted! The weather was hot and humid, but we only got rain on the final day,
so we were blessed to be able to accomplish our jobs with little delay. We returned to the community center each
evening feeling a sense of accomplishment and dog tired from the day’s work! Most evenings included a run into
Sneedville about 20 minutes away for ice cream which was already paid for by the volunteer teams who worked the
week before we came. One evening, after a picnic dinner put on for the homeowners we served, our group visited a
nearby waterfall.
The families we served were very grateful for our help and have touched our hearts forever.
Our return trip brought us through St. Louis Saturday night where we stayed at an historic downtown United Methodist Church. While in St. Louis we had a delicious pizza dinner where participants in our group gave thanks for specific
things we experienced and shared in Holy Communion. After dinner, we were able to take a trip to the top of the St.
Louis Arch and get a wonderful view of the city. We got home Sunday evening feeling tired and blessed!
With our congregation’s wonderful support and blessing we were able to make a $1,000.00 donation to Appalachian
Service Project for future projects in Hancock County. A gift of this size will typically be able to pay for two families to
have their homes repaired next year. Thank you to all of you that supported our efforts and fundraisers. We greatly
appreciate you!
We also received this thank you note:
Dear Joleen and Fairmont UMC,
We as the staff wanted to thank you for your week of service here in Hancock County. Your hard work, love and joy has
truly made a difference in these families lives.
Blessings,
Hart, Collin, Maddie, and Katie

"marhaba!" means hello in Arabic. We're on the last few chapters of THE WELL
WOMEN by Ladine Housholder. She tosses in a lot of Arabic phrases to teach
and enhance the color of the culture the tour ladies are enjoying. But the most
fascinating detail which binds the first Samaritan woman, Sapha, to the present
day tour group is an almost forgotten notebook preserved through generations in
a metal box. It belonged to the tour guide's grandmother and Najila, tour guide,
is thrilled to translate it for her tour ladies, giving her first job as tour guide, a
very special connection to Jesus. The ladies are staying in Nablus, Israel and are close to this
historic site of Jacob's well. They are emotionally changed through this experience and will-
