Advent and Christmas 2024
Christmas just isn’t complete without Advent activities, caroling, and church services. With that in mind, we have a variety of options for you for this Advent and Christmas season.

Come join us for a festive celebration filled with music and laughter. Get ready to be entertained by talented performers and immerse yourself in the holiday spirit. Performers include musical groups from St. Paul’s UMC, Julliard trained Harpist Christina Vivona, National chart-topping smooth jazz artist Neamen Lyles, the Nationally Renowned vocalists of In the Christmas Mood, and a New Orleans style brass band The Rezonators.
Gretta Moffat School Annual Report
Mr. Jerry Giah, principal of the Gretta Moffat School, has shared the school’s annual report with us. St. Paul’s UMC has long supported this mission endeavor, named after a church member. In the report, Jerry shares the number of students (136) and that our congregation generously provides the salaries of the entire staff. The report also shares some ongoing needs for the ministry, including the building of a dormitory and the pursuit of solar power.
Looking Inward, Living Outward (Worship Series)
Based on Daniel Wolpert’s book of the same name, during the month of September our worship series Looking Inward, Living Outward will draw from the wisdom of the sermon on the mount to inspire us to live after Jesus’ example. Each week we will consider practices of faith rooted in Jesus’ teaching, and how those practices lead us to live in such a way that the world around usmight be transformed for the better.
Peanut Butter Drive
St. Paul’s is once again joining other faith communities to support the Interfaith Community Services (ICS) Peanut Butter Party Food Drive. Please “spread the love” and help ICS collect 10,000 jars of peanut butter. Bring in your 16 oz jars (not larger please!) from Sunday, June 30 through Sunday, July 28, 2024.
