The Methodist movement had its start in the life and ministry of brothers John and Charles Wesley, priests with the Church of England in the 1700s. You are invited to join Revs. Ron and Lynn Bartlow on a Wesley Heritage Tour of England, May 29 – June 7, 2023.
In September and October Rev. Ron Bartlow will lead us in a worship and discipleship series based upon Rachel Held Evans’ book “Inspired: Slaying Giants, Walking on Water, and Loving the Bible Again.”
Reverend Ron Bartlow explains ‘Conferences’ in the United Methodist Church.
Just as the seasons of the natural year cycle in a familiar routine, many cultures develop annual calendars with days and seasons of meaning. The Christian church is no different. Reverend Ron explains the Seasons of the Church Year in his latest post.
It’s time for another edition of “Methodist Speak” from Rev. Ron! You may have seen the notice that we are holding a “charge conference” in just a few weeks. Well, what is that? And what does it mean?
Do you know about Francis Asbury? So many of our churches are named after him, or have a meeting room or library named in his honor. Who is he? And what is his connection to The United Methodist Church?
St. Paul’s is, always has been, and should always be about the gathering of people seeking to know and grow in love for God and neighbor. We are the church together!
I would likely not have discerned my calling to ordained ministry were it not for summer camps hosted by United Methodist Camp and Retreat Ministries; and the funny thing is, I never even attended as a camper!
