Alpha Course
How can I make the most of my life? How can I be sure of my faith? How and why do I pray? The Alpha Course, a video series, explores deeper questions such as these. An informational meeting will be held after church at 10:45 a.m. on Sunday, September 19th, in the classroom W1/W2. If interested, please fill out and place in the offering plate.

Consecration Sunday and Estimate of Giving 2010
Each year we ask our members and friends to complete an Estimate of Giving Card as we make plans for our ministry in the coming year.
Completing an Estimate of Giving Card serves two purposes:
1.A time to reflect on the blessings God has given you with an opportunity to recommit to being a disciple of Jesus.
2. An opportunity to prayerfully consider our offerings to Stilwell United Methodist Church's Unified Fund for the coming year.
On a practical level, this enables our Finance Committee and Leadership Team to set a ministry budget. This also allows us to be stewards of your gifts and make the most of the resources committed to God's work through Stilwell United Methodist Church.
Consecration Sunday - October 24
The word "consecration" means the setting apart of something for the service of God. On Consecration Sunday, Dr. D.J. Moore of Ottawa First UMC will be our guest speaker. As a part of that service we will present our estimate of giving cards as an act of worship. Following this service we will gather in the Fellowship Hall for a community meal catered by Chris Cakes.
