Join us this Advent season for our fun and festive Advent worship series: “Christmas Through the Lens of Hollywood”. In addition to entertaining us, movies can have the ability to touch our hearts. We invite you to be join us each week in worship as we reflect on how the traditional themes of Advent (Hope, Peace, Joy, Love) are viewed through the lens of some of Hollywood’s favorite Christmas movies.
In the months of October and November we’ll be exploring, both via a worship series and a weeknight book study, Rev. Adam Hamilton’s book “Half-Truths: God Helps Those Who Help Themselves and Other Things the Bible Doesn’t Say”. In this series, we’ll reflect on the nature of Scripture and then consider some of the “myths” that people attribute to the Bible.
Heather Stein, Director of Family Ministries, will be teaching a beginners class to the Bible in October. This is a four week series of interactive classes geared toward late elementary children and their favorite adult – perfect for our 3rd graders and above.
Summer is almost here, and that brings some schedule changes but also new activities. We will change to two worship services for June and July. Children’s and Youth Ministries are on a summer break but resume on Sunday, July 27 with a Rally Sunday for children (ages 3 to grade 5) and a Back-to-School Kickoff for youth (grades 6 to 12).

Mountain Pathways is an original study and small group experience that invites participants to prayerfully evaluate the connection between their beliefs and their behaviors, and then pursue a pathway of growth as a follower of Jesus Christ.
As we grow in grace, we learn to jettison those things that separate us from God and God’s love and pursue those that help that love be made real in our world. In the new year, Rev. Ron Bartlow will lead us through seven key turning points in his faith – sharing stories, experiences, and Biblical lessons that have contributed to his ongoing growth as a disciple of Christ.
World Communion Sunday reminds us that we gather together with Christians around the world, joining together at a common table of grace set by our Lord Jesus Christ. This year, in celebration of this special Sunday, we are inviting all who call St. Paul’s United Methodist Church their home church to come together in a single, celebrative worship service.
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.
