A New Roof for the Heart of Longmont - Heart of Longmont
The work on the roof has progressed and the new shingles look great. It isn't an easy job pulling off old heavy shingles and putting new ones on a hot roof, but the workers have been real troopers....

Our collection of food items for The Our Center on June 10th was 90 pounds. Although not the haul we were hoping for, it will still supply food to some of the families in our community.
Our next collection will be Wednesday, June 24th.
This will be our
last
official collection for the summer. The work on the roof should be done and there shouldn’t be any obstacles for dropping off food.
Needs for the Our Center are: canned vegetables, canned and dried beans, small jars of peanut butter, pasta and toiletries.
Please help the children and families in need.

Hands caress leather steering wheel,
Zip through intersections.
Flash in my vision,
Fingers grip torn cardboard.
Crude lettering,
Food needed.
Who are you?
Colored globes of veggies,
Frilled leafy greens fill bins.
Brown fingers pluck,
Heat rises from dirt.
Sweaty brow,
Drips in rivulets.
Who are you?
Grand house,
Manicured lawn.
Weary face,
Cardboard box.
Tattered shirt,
Dirty fingernails.
Who are you?
Squad car passes,
Friendly waves exchanged.
Flashing lights, piercing siren,
Fear reflected in dark pupils.
Legs spread, hands on hood,
Rough pats travel up and down.
Who are you?
Gentle breeze,
Grows with might.
Blowing and storming,
Darkening force.
Feet and arms,
Move in determination.
Do you know me now?
Eyes peer,
Open wide.
Tears fill iris pools,
Shame floods a beating heart.
Sorrow bares my guilt,
How did I not know.
You are my neighbor!

Pastor David needs your info.
Many of you have asked for an updated directory with mailing address, email address and phone numbers. We are working to collect your updates and we want to thank those of you who have responded. Currently we have received only a fraction of updated info from our congregation. If you have not yet submitted your updated information, please fill out
this form and email it to the office at
office@heartoflongmont.org. Thank you!
We can't overstate how important it is that we receive your updated information. The church directory hasn't been updated in a number of years, and the office staff has often run into problems with old addresses and phone numbers listed. Also, because of Covid-19 restricting in-person meetings, it's important we have accurate contact information so we can communicate with you and update you on the current situation. Once all updates are completed and in place, the office will be able to make online and print directories available.
If you have any questions about this process or the directory update form, please contact the office. To those of you who have already filled out the form and returned it to us: Thank you!!
