generosity in the Bitterroot Valley of Montana."

Advent is just around the corner!

The build-up to Advent is readily visible at SUMC with lots of activity at the church today ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday tomorrow.

This afternoon, Carol Gragg and Carol Goffe were at work in the fellowship hall, creating the backdrop for the sanctuary cross.  We're going with a deep blue this year to signify the season of Advent.  Many congregations are using blue instead of purple for Advent to help distinguish it from the purple used in Lent.

Carol Goffe (our administrative assistant) has had a busy (and short) week with getting the Glad Tider out on Monday, preparing the bulletins for Sunday, and helping Pastor Charles get the Advent Devotionals ready for distribution.  She really deserves a couple of days to recover!!!

Speaking of the Advent Devotional, there will be a limited number of print booklets available on Sunday.  See Pastor Charles if you'd like one.  The devotional entries will also be placed each day on the Blog and on the website (under the Nurture tab).
