Thank Offering on November 24th

Tomorrow's worship, Christ the King Sunday, is the last Sunday of the church year (Advent starts on December 1). 
 
Thank Offering

Our church started this outreach program thirteen years ago. Before then, we held fairly frequent special offerings for some of the organizations listed here, as well as others.  Don & Mary Nelson brought the idea of holding a Thank Offering from their former church. 

This is the fourteenth year we've celebrated the Sunday before Thanksgiving with an outpouring of thanks to God for all our blessings by giving to those who are in real need of help.

The Thank Offering Committee has selected the following twelve projects, which are listed below.  You may designate a gift for any or all, as you please.

National & World:
Heifer Project International; Imagine No Malaria; Pastor's Support in Angola


Montana:
Blackfeet United Methodist Parish; Intermountain  (Helena) 
Local: Carpenters for Christ (Stevensville); Clothes Closet (Stevensville); Habitat for Humanity (Ravalli County); Loaves & Fishes (SUMC); Pantry Partners (Stevensville); SAFE/supporters of abuse-free environment (Hamilton)
