November 06th 2017 by Dee Loflin
Dexter, Missouri - Lighthouse Church is once again recruiting “Bell Ringers” for the Christmas Holiday Season. They need bell ringers for shifts beginning at 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Monday thru Saturday beginning November 24th and ending December 23rd.
There will be two kettles at the Walmart Store, in Dexter, one at each entrance. The shifts may be 1 or 2 hour increments.
Any Church, Business, School Organization, Family or other group may fill one whole day or the same day every week or any open shift.
Each business or organization is welcomed to bring an 8 ½ X 11” sign and or wear their logo advertisement clothing. They will provide a sign for you that will be laminated and taped to the kettle stand. Two bells will be provided and if you need more please bring them. No more than 5 people are allowed at each kettle. You are welcome to sing carols. They ask that you wear your best smile and wish those giving or not giving a “Merry Christmas” or Happy Holidays.
100% of all money collected will be allocated through Salvation Army vouchers to help the residents of Stoddard County in need of help with rent, medical expense, food, clothing, utility or other expenses.
Last year’s drive provided over $16,000 to the residents of Stoddard County.
Please contact Ester Wheeler or Michelle Marvel at Lighthouse Church if you or your Church, School, Business, Organization or family is interested in Ringing the Bell for the Salvation Army Red Kettle Drive. Phone number is (573) 624-2500 or email to ewheeler@lighthouseofdexter.org

All Hallows' Eve Worship Service at First United Methodist Church
October 27th 2017 by Dee Loflin
Dexter, Missouri - Join First United Methodist Church on Tuesday, October 31, 2017 from 9 p.m. - 10:00 p.m. for a special All Hallows' Eve Worship Service.
"We will be remembering great Christians throughout history, and remembering those who have died in the past year," commented Ron Beaton, Pastor at First United Methodist Church. "This year's service will feature members of the Southeast Missouri Jazz Band, a cellist, and the First UMC Choir."
All Saints Day is a church festival that recalls the faith and witness of the women and men who have gone before us. This worship service celebrates our continuing communion with them and memorializes the recently deceased. The early church followed the Jewish custom that a new day began at sundown; thus, feasts and festivals in the church were observed beginning on the night before. The night before All Saints (or All Hallows) became known as All Hallows Eve or Halloween.
Dexter First United Methodist Church is located at 501 South Walnut Street, Dexter, Missouri. The public is encouraged to attend this open event.
