April draws to a close at SUMC

A month that began with the joyous strains of the Easter alleluias now draws to a close in the Bitterroot Valley. We are mindful of all that has taken place in and through this congregation!

This morning, the choir offered to God "Morning Has Broken." Pastor Charles shared "Love for love's sake" based on I John 4:12-21.

Sherry Paddie announced to the congregation that she had resigned as Director of Children & Youth Ministries at Stevi UMC. She will be working with the Red Cross in Missoula and continuing to work with the ministry at Wesley House.

Thanks this morning to: Amanda Hermes (Nursery), Sara Malo (Church school), Josh Malo (Acolyte wrangler), Hazen & Katie Rose (Acolytes), Dave Lockman (Praise music), Mary Costello & Lynn Moshier (Greeters/ushers), Hazel Smith (Organist), Sherry Paddie (children's message), Tom Bishop (Video), Ruth Cleveland & Don Nelson (offering counters), and Carole Koval, Connie Rakiecki, and Bev Schneider (Fellowship).

Thanks as well to Ben Longbottom who got in the first mow of 2018 at the church yesterday!
