Today was a special day in the life of Stevi UMC as we gathered to worship God and to celebrate the beginning of a new relationship. This morning Pastor Charles & Belinda began their time with the Stevensville UMC community. It was wonderful to have this time together as a church family and to share the journey with one another!
Joys from this morning included:
+Improving health news
+The 67th anniversary of Ben & Bev Longbottem (and Bev's birthday)
+The 44th anniversary of Fran & Fred Jackson
+Guests in worship today
+Successful climbing of St. Mary's Peak
+Return of a friend from service in Afghanistan
+The 40,000+ Scouts and leaders going off to the Jamboree in West Virginia (including the Mitch, Bob & Cammie Edgar).
Concerns from this morning included:
+The fire fighters who lost their lives in Arizona
+The hard-working local fire fighters who were stretched thin this past week.
+The family of Ester England
+Health concerns
