United Women in Faith Day Trip to Detroit
The Lexington United Women in Faith traveled to Detroit on August 5 to hear Rev. Dr. Jill Zundel, former pastor of Central United Methodist Church. She shared with us the fascinating history of the church and the social justice work that has always been a hallmark of Central. As a sanctuary church, she told the story of the two families that were ministered to by the folks of Central. After a fun ride on the Q-Line, we had a delicious lunch at Campus Martius Park. It was a great day with lovely weather, fellowship and food.
Our learning of the day: Christians have
a voice that needs to be heard in these turbulent times.
The next RED BAG SUNDAYS are
September 6 and
October 4, 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.
GIVING OPPORTUNITIES
Native American Special Sunday,
Sept. 6, 2026
Native American Sunday is one of six church wide Special Sundays designated to support ministries and causes important to the entire United Methodist Church.
Rev. BJ Ash, Manistique First UMC: ‘A mature faith can hold gratitude and grief at the same time. We can give thanks for what is good while telling the truth about what was wrong. We can love our neighbors and seek the
good of this country without pretending our history is innocent. Native people are not only part of the American past. We are still here. Our nations and communities continue to worship, serve, raise families, care for elders, preserve languages, defend the land, and work toward
healing. Our survival is not proof that the wounds were unimportant. It is evidence of endurance, grace, and God’s faithfulness.'
On Native American Ministries Sunday, we partner with other UMC congregations in a special offering to equip and empower Native American pastors, congregations and seminary students to worship and serve Jesus through honoring the Native American cultural traditions. This offering serves to remind United Methodists of the gifts and contributions made by Native Americans to our society. Half of our gifts stay with local ministries in this conference and half support the work of Native American United Methodist ministries nationally.
Please give what you can on Sept 6, our Native American Sunday for recognition. We will continue to accept gifts for this valuable Ministry at any time that is convenient for you. You can send in money or use an envelope with the special designation: ‘Native American Offering.’ Thank you for your Devotion to Generosity!
September Mission Moment
Sunday September 20. 2026
The Society of St. Andrew
The Society of St. Andrew brings people together to harvest and share healthy food, reduce food waste, and build caring communities by offering nourishment to hungry neighbors. It envisions a world in which physical and spiritual hungers are met through God’s grace and abundance in Jesus Christ. The Society of St. Andrew brings people together to harvest and
share healthy food, reduce food waste, and build caring communities by offering nourishment to hungry neighbors.
Based in the United States, The Society of Saint Andrew engages volunteers in the biblical practice of gleaning nutritious food remaining after harvest to share with neighbors in need, Through this program,
people learn about hunger and creation care.
Our Mission Moment is always the third Sunday of the month which is
September 20. Thank you, in advance, for your faithful giving.

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
