Belinda and her mom at the UMW meeting

Whew!  We've had a very busy week, and there is still the weekend to come!! 

Yesterday we enjoyed an Christmas party for Belinda's office in Hamilton at the Bitterroot Brew Pub, what fun!  In the late afternoon, we joined the community in celebrating the holidays with the residents of the Genesis House, a group-support home in Stevensville.  To cap off the evening, the Stevensville United Methodist Church held its annual church conference! 

We were back at it this morning, as we participated in a Bible study at a Stevensville UMC member's home and then ate lunch at the Senior Center. 

In the afternoon, we enjoyed the fellowship and program of the United Methodist Women.  Belinda took part in the program, joining three others in a quartet, singing four lovely Christmas hymns.  Belinda's mother joined in the program, as well.  She read two of her favorite Christmas hymns from her years living in England.

This evening, Charles and Belinda ended the day with a meeting of the Guiding Team at the church.  This group helps Charles hone the vision and action plan for the church. 

Whew!!!
