Twentieth Sunday after Pentecost

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

This week’s message:

“Expanding the Table”
There’s something about sharing a meal that has the power to bring people together.
Gathering around the table can help us let down our guard and foster community.
It gives us a space to tell stories, to share moments from our day, and to connect with one another.
Sharing a meal together nourishes our bodies and our spirits.
It’s no wonder that the Gospels are full of accounts of meals Jesus shared with others.
Whether he was sharing a meal with religious elites or with outsiders, with massive crowds and
with small gatherings of close friends, Jesus made time to come to the table with others,
and to show us just how expansive God’s love is.
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.

With hope and joy,
Pastor Elise
