Salvation Army Stockings Available!
Christmas traditions are very important when you are young. Hanging up a stocking and waking up to see what Santa delivered is one of those traditions. Sunset UMC has a tradition, too. Each year we help the Salvation Army fill stockings for children. The stockings have been hung outside the sanctuary, so pick one up, follow the instructions, and return by December 12.
Make a difference in a child's life at Christmas.
Church Unique 2014
Daniel Hatten led a team of church members through an intensive look at what we have done at Sunset UMC through Church Unique. Each year we establish our Vision Proper which includes a Mountaintop Summary and Milestones for measurement.
This year was particularly challenging as we reviewed 2012 and 2013 and prayed that God would give us a vision that would be in line with His will for our congregation. There was a strong sense that we focus on our relationships with one another and with our community. After hours of sharing and discussing, we felt the power of the Holy Spirit as a final statement was discovered and affirmed by all members present.
"Building Connections as God's Family"
An exhausted group adjourned. Daniel and Pastor Keith will meet to further discuss just how those connections will be measured in 2014 and the Team will meet again in January to finalize the plans.
God is at work, and Sunset UMC is ready to be part of that work.
