Faith is a living, bold trust in God's grace, so certain of God's favor that it would risk death a thousand times trusting in it. Such confidence and knowledge of God's grace makes you happy, joyful and bold in your relationship to God and all creatures. The Holy Spirit makes this happen through faith. Because of it, you freely, willingly and joyfully do good to everyone, serve everyone, suffer all kinds of things, love and praise the God who has shown you such grace. - Martin Luther

Cereal drive 2013


As of Tuesday, September 17th we have collected 54 boxes & bags of cereal for the Annual Fall Cereal Drive for the Gallatin Valley Food Bank. Our goal is 300 boxes & bags of cereal collected by October 31st. We are just over one sixth of reaching our goal.

Please consider purchasing extra cereal when you shop for groceries. During the recent recession the Gallatin Valley Food Bank has seen a dramatic increase of requests for food assistance. Those requests include many households with children.

Poverty and hunger are not always visible in Bozeman, especially with the economy on the rebound.
As the Book of Colossians reminds us "Put on Christ" and watch for opportunities to do acts of kindness and mercy in Jesus' name.
