Ever since Connie and I arrived in Stevensville, five years ago, the Stevensville United Methodist Church has been a very pecial part of our lives. Through out my life I have sometimes been disappointed by not finding the work of God in the churches we attended. I have looked, waited, and anticipated the embodiment of Jesus’ teachings in the leadership and congregations, and with SUMC I have found a breath of fresh air.
In my eyes, I see the spirit of love, forgiveness, charity and steadfast commitment to God and “our neighbors.” As one visitor recently told me, “This church really practices what it preaches.” I agree. It does. The wait was worth it. The pastor, leadership and congregation truly inspire me to grow in my devotion to Jesus and His teachings in a joyful, proactive way.
As Jesus said in Mathew 7:26 “And everyone who hears these words of mine, and does not act upon them, will be like a foolish man who built his house upon the sand.”
