South Minneapolis Meals on Wheels

Meals and smiles needed during pandemic

South Minneapolis Meals on Wheels (SMMOW) remains a big part of Epworth’s mission and life through this pandemic. The clients are grateful to have a hot meal hung on the door knob and to get a wave and smile from the sidewalk. SMMOW has worked diligently to design safety protocols for both clients and drivers.

The number of clients we serve has increased during the pandemic but we don’t yet know if that number will remain once the pandemic eases. Whether the number remains or decreases, Epworth is still in need of volunteer drivers and donations for this mission. 

 


If you can drive or if you would like to be a client, contact Nan Rice, Epworth’s Driver Coordinator and a member of the SMMOW Board of Directors.

Grief and Blessings

"The Blessing of Tears" by Eleanor Cowles The Upper Room, March-April 2021   “When I think of God’s blessings, I think of family, friends, sunshine, or even my morning cup of coffee. Until recently, I never considered tears a blessing. … As we walk through life, we often miss blessings hidden in calamities. But while tears can blur our vision, they can also clarify our sight to reveal new truths. Perhaps we can see our way to reach out to someone in pain I believe when we have walked through pain and grief, we may be the path – and there our tears can meet. Truly, tears can be God’s blessing for this life.” CONTENTS  click the title to go to the article Nourishing Faith Adult Class: Joy, Grief, Prayers, “Slum Songs”  Devotional 2021:  Hope in the Wilderness Pastor Appointment: Sorrow, Blessing, Faith Pastor’s Column: God’s Time, God’s Plan   Welcoming All New Meditation Room: Welcome Peace Virtual Mission u 2021 Toy Library Transitions to WWW United Methodi...

Thank you and Christmas greetings Because we were not meeting for worship at church, the Echoes Editorial Board did not get to church to see the cards, letters, notes, and Christmas greetings Epworth received last Fall and during the holiday season. However, we still want to share them with you. The Christmas letters are too long to print here in their entirety but we share some excerpts with you below.   Dear Epworth Community, It wasn’t possible to enlist enough members to safely put down much and do extensive weeding this year so instead the Garden Club is making a donation. The club would not be thriving without your generous support. We were able to plant some iris, perennials and weed the rain garden. Thank you so much. Stay well, stay safe. Longfellow Garden Club Claire, Martha, Julia, Terri & Bev     We are so proud of your ministry and are so happy to be part of it!   Dennis & Gail [Alexander]     Sending my love to everyone at church.
