On this Memorial Day, we remember and honor the sacrifices of all the men and women who have served our country, especially those who laid down their lives in service. We give thanks for their courage and sacrifice. We also remember the families and communities who have carried grief and love side by side.

As the Dakotas | Minnesota Methodist Foundations, we join our churches in praying for comfort for those who mourn, strength for those who serve, and wisdom for us all as we seek to be people of peace.

“No one has greater love than to give up one’s life for one’s friends.” John 15:13.

We invite you to pause today—offer a prayer, observe a moment of silence, or reach out to someone who is remembering a loved one—and to carry that remembrance into acts of kindness in the days ahead.

The Dakotas and Minnesota Methodist Foundations will award scholarship funds this month for the 2026–27 academic year, including support from endowments like the Ted & Toni Martin Endowment. For recipients, these scholarships are about more than tuition; they are a sign that the broader church believes in their call to serve.

One pastor who has been blessed by the Martin Endowment is Rev. Sara Nelson of Sioux Falls First United Methodist Church. She sees Ted and Toni Martin’s legacy at work every time a book is opened, a class is taught, or a new leader steps forward. “I never dreamed I’d be the beneficiary of someone’s lifelong love of learning.”

Grateful for all who invest in legacies of learning that are changing lives today.

You’ve probably heard the word “endowment” before but may not be fully clear on what it is or how it works. An endowment is more than a one time gift; it’s a lasting source of support for the church’s mission. The original gift is invested and, each year, a portion of the earnings can be used for ministry while the fund continues to grow for the future.

Endowments help congregations strengthen worship, discipleship, and outreach not only today, but for generations to come.

Reach out to our team for resources and next steps. We can help you build a legacy that reflects your values and faith. https://www.dkmnmf.org/connect

Dakotas United Methodists across generations are helping churches care for their buildings and ministries through one family’s remarkable legacy of faith and generosity.

Thanks to the Jim and Marlys Loomer Endowment, Builders Club grants are now going farther to care for church buildings and the ministry that happens inside them across the Dakotas Conference. Their story is a beautiful reminder that steady, faithful giving can make a lasting impact.

Easter and this time of year remind us there’s something powerful about beginnings—moments when hope stirs, light returns, and something new takes shape.

We see this renewal every day through the generosity and faithfulness of people who believe transformation is possible.

In this Easter season of new life, we’re grateful for all who share in the work of bringing hope to the world. Blessings to you, your families, and communities across the Dakotas and Minnesota.
