Dimondale UMC has a strong tradition of supporting missions and of working for the Kingdom of God here on earth. During the past two years we have struggled with the question of what God would have us do as a Christian community in the Dimondale/Lansing area. This has led us not only to outreach with Servant Evangelism, but also other gifts and ministries of mercy and grace. God has worked through us in several ways including:

• Adopting families for Thanksgiving and Christmas to provide food and gifts
• Supporting the Forgotten Man Ministry, a ministry to those in jail
• Collecting a clatter offering for a family to help with a child's medical bills
• Singing hymns with those in nursing homes
• Halloween Trunk or Treat
• A "Meet the Animals" petting zoo for families
• Collecting food for the local food pantry
• Supporting Heiffer International

Dimondale United Methodist Church has a prayer ministry that meets every Monday night. The prayer group has a list of people that are kept in prayer as well as praying for any new concerns that come up during the week. We believe that prayer works and that it is one way that we can show that we care.
