Saint Paul's UMC

ONE☝🏻WEEK AWAY!

We can’t wait to see you at our next Worship Night on Thursday, September 12 at 6:30 PM at the Saint Paul’s campus in our Worship Center!

Bring a friend, leave your worries at the door and invite the Holy Spirit to soothe your soul! 💙

That’s a wrap on Youth Night Kick-Off 2024: Olympics!

50 students gathered tonight to launch the 2024-2025 session of youth and had a blast doing it!

We pray for the leaders and students this year as they grow in faith and build friendships and community! 💙

The Active Retired Adults Ministry, also known as ARAM, sat together today to vision cast for the future of this ministry. Fun things are in store for the retirees of our community, so mark your calendars for the next gathering on Thursday, September 19 at 12 PM for lunch (donations accepted). Activity to be announced.

Don’t forget to invite a friend!

Yesterday, 21 people came to Wildcat Glades alongside family and community to be baptized for the first time or to remember their baptism.

It was a beautiful afternoon filled with the celebration of God's unwavering grace!

Viewing from home today? You can catch us at 10:30 AM on KODE and Facebook Live today!

Or you can catch us in person at 9 AM or 10:30 AM!

We can’t wait to worship with you!

Tune in from home at 9 AM on Sundays or know someone who does? Here’s an update:

Instead of going live at 9 AM on KSN, we will be live on KODE at 10:30 AM (simulcast on Facebook Live) beginning this Sunday, July 28 until August 11.

We know it’s getting confusing so we welcome our at home viewers to come see us in person at 9 AM or 10:30 AM.

Spread the news, we will save a seat for you!

This crew is off to Fayette, MO for Unite. Join us in praying that the middle school group explore and grow in their faith while also building new friendships and having a blast!

VBS Day 5: That’s a wrap!

This is Todd and Carissa’s last VBS with us. With 20+ years each at Saint Paul’s, these two have worked year round to ensure VBS (and all children and family events) are filled with fun.

Miss Carissa will now be using her skills to pursue her life long dream of teaching kindergarten with Joplin Schools. She’s going to be AMAZING!

Todd will be here until the end of the year, so no need to be sad just yet. He’s going to be around a little longer and we will be sure to give you an update on him before he retires!

This duo has been a pivotal part in the Saint Paul’s community ensuring that every kid is seen known and loved and we are definitely going to miss them! 💙💙

VBS Day 4: Our mission project is Christmas in July! We are collecting toys for Saint Paul’s Affordable Christmas. The kids have a goal to collect 300 hundred toys during VBS!

This is one way we try to teach the littlest in the church to give back!

VBS Day 2: We’re in shark infested waters and it’s been so much fun! 🦈🏄‍♀️

VBS Day 1: What a splash!

We can’t wait to do it again tomorrow! 🤿🏄‍♀️

A little behind-the-scenes VBS action! 🏄‍♀️🤿

The Free Little Library is getting a face lift!

Thanks to Hearts and Hammers, this update is being done in memory of Jim Thomason.

This library is at the northeast side of Saint Paul’s lot (near Cecil Floyd School) and it is a “take a book” library full of kids books!

Also, we are adding a Free Little Pantry to this location. Check it out and add any non perishable food items.

The concrete is getting poured today so we expect the face lift and addition to be ready in two weeks time!

Midweek is definitely not to early to prepare for Sunday! As you prepare, remember to bring some cash to church this week to snag one of these “Love Like Jesus” bracelets to help fund Kids’ Day Camp!

$5 minimum donation! 💙

And while you’re at it, don’t forget to sign your kid up, we still have plenty of room!
