A wonderful August Sunday

Summer flowers in abundance
Jenna and Dave lead the praise music
Clay, David, Bob, and Mitch share music this morning
Bill does a great job as liturgist today
The parsonage open house was a hit!
What a blessing we experienced this morning @ Stevi UMC!

A wonderful example of disciples striving to become stronger disciples was to be seen in the two adult classes this morning.  Clay Freeman leads the Book of Revelation study and each week the class is led deeper into this powerful statement of faith.  Belinda Alkula leads the Wired Word group and today's discussion was a great example of a community wrestling with their faith in the context of today's news.

We enjoy music at SUMC and today was no exception. Jenna Lockman and her dad, Dave, began worship with praise singing. This was Jenna's last Sunday with us before leaving for college next week. Clay Freeman provided the accompaniment on piano for the hymns and did double-duty with the brass ensemble along with David Paul, Bob Edgar, and Mitch Edgar.

Following worship the congregation made its way across the street for the Alkula's third parsonage open house. With ice cream floats in the garage, tours of the button collection in the basement, and fresh produce available for the taking in the backyard, there was something for everyone today!
