"Through the power of Christ, we are learning to live in simplicity, thankfulness, contentment and
generosity in the Bitterroot Valley of Montana."

Update from the Blackfeet UM Parish (BUMP)


The following appeared on Facebook today:
 
"I feel like the movie " If you build it, they will come." If you tell them, they will deliver! And boy did you big time!! If I remember right, last year we handed out between 450-500 gifts and turned many away. Our goal this year was simple..., to not turn anyone away.

This year we gave out, are you ready, 1294 gifts and we turned no one away!!!! The last few were mostly school supplies but they were grateful for those. We passed out 953 out of the church in 1 1/2 hours and the rest left earlier to the communities of East Glacier, Babb, Star School and Heart Butte.

We feel so blessed to have you all on our team. We can assure you that they went to the intended population and people were so very happy. You have been angels, whether you sent one one gift or boxes full.

 May God bless you all and Merry Christmas!"
