Twenty-first Sunday after Pentecost

Join us in person and online for worship service starting at 9:55 with gathering music.

This week’s message:

“Be Fed”

Our October stewardship series Expanding the Table will explore several different meals that Jesus shared with others.
These stories show us how we, too, can help expand God’s table to all who hunger.
May we, at Stevensville UMC, be people who are working together to expand God’s table
to all who hunger to belong, be fed, and be empowered to serve.

In the feeding of the 5000, Jesus ensures that the masses have plenty to eat.
They are not only nourished by the food they receive, but by witnessing and experiencing the abundant love of God.

With hope and joy,
Pastor Elise
