History Event Coming to Town

  The quadrennial (every four years) United Methodist Historical Convocation will be held in Bozeman, Montana from September 10-13, 2024 and hosted by the Western Jurisdiction and the Mountain Sky Commission on Archives and History. On Wednesday, September 11th, this group of about 60 individuals from various locations in our nation will descend on Butte as part of this Historical Convocation. They will be led around to several spots here in Butte that have historical significance to Methodism - the Italian Mission at the Berkeley Pit, the Scandinavian Methodist Church, Trinity and Mount Bethel (both listed on the National Historic Registry), Mountain View and its parsonage, Saint Paul’s, and Shaffer’s Chapel AME Church. These locations are also listed on the National Historic Registry. A lunch of pasties will be provided at our church for our guests. A short program led by our pastor will follow before our participants return to Bozeman. The theme of the convocation is ethnic heritage. Butte America is perfect for this presentation.
