A Theology of Paying Attention

Posted on January 5, 2023January 5, 2023 by Rev. Meredith Joubert

John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, challenged us to say “I am no longer my own but thine. Put me to what you will.

In order for this to happen, we have to pay attention to the people around us.

We are Connected!

We celebrate the way that the people and congregation of St. Paul’s United Methodist Church are connected with others around the world!
