This afternoon, Pastor Charles and Belinda attended the Western Mountains pre-conference briefing and idea-mart at First UMC in Missoula.  

Our District Superintendent, John Daniels, gave a presentation on the mission trip to Angola by a Yellowstone Conference delegation. Our church supports an East Angola Conference pastor with monthly payments which help supplement the meager salary of those pastors.  To learn more, visit this link.

Lots of good stuff happening in our district and in the Conference!

AND... a great/fun resource that was highlighted today is the "Interpreter" magazine's feature section of "It worked for us!"  Click on this sentence, to go to the webpage which provides some great information that others have shared.
