generosity in the Bitterroot Valley of Montana."

What a morning!

Breakfast is served for the children
Our acolytes are focused!
The music reaches the balcony
Communion in Lent
Listening to the postlude by Julie
A delightful spring morning was ours to enjoy as April got underway at Stevi UMC! It was announced that the spaghetti feed/silent auction raised more than $2,300 to be split between church camp scholarships and the youth ministry.

Twelve children were on hand for our children's class, we're growing! The adult class concluded the Methodism 101 study. We'll begin a new (yet to be determined) study following Easter.

The choir shared this morning's anthem, "Canon in D," a very moving musical offering to our God. Pastor Charles took as his text, John Wesley's sermon, "The Duty of Constant Communion" (1785) and Luke 22:19-20.

Thanks this morning to: Liz Goddard, Bev Schneider, Cathy Hackett, Mary Hackett, Lisa Nicholls, Dusty Schrock & Belinda Alkula (children's teachers), Dave Lockman (praise music), Julie Ludington (piano), Tom Bishop (video), Cammie Edgar (overhead slides), Paul Ludington (liturgist), Hazen & Ryder (acolytes), Brenda Bolton (choir), Lynn Moshier & Vickie Vernon (greeter/ushers), Bill Gragg & Bonita Ziegler (offering counters), Mary Nelson, Diane Bailey, & Shirley McKelvey (fellowship time).
