Also, around the Dakotas Conference:

Native American Ministries Sunday - Did you know that more than 20,000 Native American people are part of The United Methodist Church? On May 5, we will celebrate Native American Ministries Sunday. We'll receive a special offering that directly supports Native American congregations and enables them to authentically minister with their communities while honoring creative expressions of culture and heritage.
The offering also provides scholarships for Native American seminary students.
Through our denominational connection and with our offering, we live out our commitment to repentance, healing, forgiveness and love. Encourage your worshipers to give generously on May 5. Resources available here.

Builders Club - The current Builders Club call is for Beresford Zion UMC in Beresford, SD. Be a part of change in our conference through the Builders Club. Donations will be accepted from now until June 30th.
