Cold morning, hot church!

Thank Offering display

Christ the King Sunday @ Stevi UMC was awash in blessings! A rather brisk start to the day (14° this morning) gave way to an awesome outpouring of the the Spirit. From the church school class members focused on learning about and sharing their faith to the fellowship following worship, today was amazing!

Thanks to everyone who shared items for the Thanksgiving display around the communion table and to to Sara, Josh, and Luke Malo for arranging these gifts. 

In addition to it being Christ the King Sunday, this morning was also when we receive the Thank Offering. It was wonderful to see the children bringing forward the baskets laden with pledges of our involvement in the world. If you still wish to participate, please visit this link and then let the church office know how you want to connect to these programs.

Our choir offered two musical gifts this morning, the first during our praise singing time and the second, a beautiful anthem of thanksgiving. The brass ensemble also shared their musical gifts this morning during the offering, a medley of harvest hymns.


Our Advent study begins next week. We'll be using the book, "Mary Had a Baby" which uses African-American spirituals as a means of exploring the Christmas story. Please let Pastor Charles or the church office know by Tuesday if you would like a copy of the book we'll be using.
