I hope you are staying warm on this snowy and chilly day. Be sure to check out the news below as we have some exciting transitions taking place through the holiday season and beyond! A Message from Reverend Fred "It is good to give thanks to the LORD, to sing praises to your name, O Most High; to declare your steadfast love in the morning, and your faithfulness by night." This is the time of year when we are invited into a spirit of thanksgiving. Where we experienced grace? Where have we experienced love? Where have we experienced joy? Where have we experienced forgiveness? Where have we experienced kindness? Where have we experienced a helping hand? Some seasons it is easy to reflect on thanksgiving because of the abundance we have experienced. Our songs of thanksgiving echo through the valleys. Some seasons it may be more difficult in that we experience major trauma, loss, or loss. Still we can discover things for which to be thankful, but the thanksgiving song may be more hushed and muted. However you are experiencing life in this season, be open and aware of the things in your life for which you can give thanks. ~ Shalom, Rev. Fred Here's a look at what's happened and what's ahead for Park County United Methodist Ministries.

He has been engaged in this pursuit since 2009 and operates entirely on the support and donations of the public. Together, David and 'Grizzly' demonstrated some of the tasks that service dogs can perform A delicious buffet lunch was served by members of Holbrook Church following the presentation. Good morning everyone,
Enjoy the last of the warmth before we drop into some snowy/rainy and much cooler weather! Brunch, Songs, and Surprises On the fourth Sunday, at the 11:00am service, Holbrook will host David Riggs, the Founder and CEO of K9 Care Montana, Inc., a service corporation which trains and provides free of charge service dogs for veterans and autistic children. They also cover veterinarian services and dog food for the first year after delivering a service dog to a recipient. David himself is a “wounded warrior” and started K9 Care to help fellow vets. They currently have 12 new service dog projects in various stages of the training process, including 2 of which are Autism Service Dogs. They are presently constructing a new 2,250 sq. ft. training facility located between Livingston and Bozeman. David will bring his dog with him when he comes to speak.
