Good Morning Montana District BOD,
Wow, summer has been flying by and before you know it all of our fall events will begin. The Summer Missive introduced our new BOD members and I am excited to have them on the board and want to thank those continuing to serve and look forward to the next 2 years as your president. I wanted to remind you of some upcoming events: September 16-18: District Retreats at Mountain Top in Bozeman and Trinity Camp in Big Fork. The theme is “Grab Your Shoes and Go”. Rev. Keinath will be leading the Bible studies at Mountain Top and Rev. Miller will be leading them at Big Fork. I want to thank Whitney for stepping in for Brook at Mountain Top.

The SouthEastern Zone, Flathead Zone and Western Zone will be electing new presidents this fall. I would encourage both the outgoing and incoming zone presidents to attend this meeting. Assembly of Leaders is October 19 - 22. I am looking forward to attending this leadership training with Rev. Miller, Cheryl Stensrud, Whitney Marsh, and Lynette Nussbaum. We will be sharing the information we learn at the spring rallies. September 30 is the deadline for your Missive Articles. Rev. Keinath will be writing the counselors article and Rev.
