A Christmas Eve Candlelight Service will be held at the church located at 501 South Walnut Street on December 24 at 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m.
Pastor Barry Winders announced that 100% of the offering from these services will go to Imagine No Malaria.
Imagine No Malaria is an extraordinary effort of the people of The United Methodist Church, putting our faith into action to end preventable deaths by malaria in Africa, especially the death of a child or a mother.
Every 60 seconds, malaria claims a life in Africa. Millions of lives, needlessly lost each year. Malaria has been killing for thousands of years. This disease was eliminated in the U.S. in the 1950s, but Africa was left behind. The community is invited to join in the effort to stop this terrible disease.
You may donate to Imagine No Malaria at the Christmas Eve Services or by mailing your donation to P.O. Box 156, Dexter, Missouri. If you would like more information, please contact the church office at 573-624-3344 or go to www.imaginenomalaria.org.

Shepherd's Fold Ministry is a non-profit organization with the dedication to helping men overcome their addictions. The Ministry does not receive funding from the state or federal government but relies on its funding by individuals, churches, businesses, and monetary donations. All donations are deductible by law.
With your gift you are helping make a change one family at a time. We reach out to the entire family by providing the families of the men who enter our program with food boxes, hygiene items, cleaning supplies, and paper products. In 2012 Shepherd’s Fold gave out 348 items, after giving out 182 items in 2011.
Some of the services that are offered to
men at the Shepherd’s Fold Ministry are:
-Room & Board
-Life Skills Training
(When teacher is available)
-Bible Study
- GED
-Continuing Education Assistance
-Job Training/Placement Programs
-Food Pantry for families
Residents typically spend eight months in house and then enter the outpatient phase for four months of aftercare. During their eight months in house they attend church, Celebrate Recovery, Overcomers program, and have daily Bible studies. They learn responsibility by doing daily chores, work projects, and eventually obtain employment.
During the out patient part of the program the men are subjected to random drug screens and must attend two meetings each week. These men will transition back into society by applying the skills they have learned.
Everything we do at The Fold is made possible through the generous donations of people just like you. We have seen God use the smallest to the largest gift to make a difference in the lives of these men.
Below is a list of things you can do to help these men and their families if you are interested.

Dexter, Missouri - Tonight at 6:00 p.m. members of the local community will meet at the Southwest Elementary School and walk around Southwest, Central, TS Middle and DHS Schools.
It’s an opportunity to pray for our children, teachers, bus drivers, parents, grandparents, administrators, board members and anyone who is involved with Dexter’s youth.
You can walk, or just stand and pray. Groups may form or you can stand alone. The point being, YOU are invited to come and pray.
This is a wonderful way to start off the new school year and perhaps will become a tradition. It doesn’t matter what church you belong to or if you don’t attend a church, EVERYONE IS WELCOME TO ATTEND!
