This fall we’re trying a new format for our monthly Meet and Eat. Instead of a sit-down lunch after the service, we’ll gather for food and fellowship before worship in the foyer.
We’ll have muffins, donuts, fruit, coffee, and hot chocolate. Come early and join us!
Grief is the natural response to loss, whether of a home, a loved one, a relationship, or even a child, and you don’t have to carry it alone. Join others on the way toward healing and hope in a warm and safe setting, facilitated by Pastor Dietmar Plajer. Everyone is welcome, members or not, whether your loss is recent or long ago. What is shared stays in the group, and you’re free to share your story or simply listen. We will use Out of the Depths: Your Companion through Grief by Greta Smith. You can order a copy ($7) through the sign-up form or buy it yourself wherever books are sold. We will meet on five Monday afternoons from 3:00 to 4:30 PM: November 23 – December 21. Sign up here or through the church office at office@saintpauls-ucc.org or (570) 374-8749. If you have questions, contact Pastor Dietmar at dietmar@saintpauls-ucc.org or (570) 541-0121.
On the First Sunday of Advent, we’ll decorate the sanctuary for Advent and Christmas, and we need your help! Please stay after worship and lend a hand.
Many hands make light work, and everyone is welcome, children too.
What is AI, and how are people using it? Join Phil Winger and Shane Sanders for an introduction to artificial intelligence, and bring your questions.
Everyone is welcome, and no experience is needed.
How do Christians around the world celebrate the birth of Jesus? Come find out at Messy Christmas Around the World, an afternoon of crafts, games, and a shared meal for all ages.
Families can travel from table to table and try a tradition from each place. Decorate a drum from Nigeria, paint a rooster ornament from Spain, and make a Christmas bell from Switzerland, where bells ring all season long. Then see how high a Christmas tree of cups can grow before it tumbles down, and build it again!
We’ll gather to hear the Christmas story from Luke 2 and then share a meal together. Bring the whole family and a friend, all are welcome!
Please sign up so we know how much food to prepare.
Our children are excited to tell the Christmas story in this year’s pageant! Mary and Joseph, shepherds, angels, kings, and a stable full of animals will bring the story to life, along with one very sweet song. Come cheer them on!
Help us spread Christmas cheer to our homebound members! On the Sunday before Christmas, we’ll meet at the church at 4:00 PM and carpool to sing for them.
Every voice is welcome, whether you sing out or just hum along, and children are welcome too. Bundle up and come along!
Celebrate the birth of Jesus with us on Christmas Eve! Come hear the Christmas story and sing the carols you know by heart, by candlelight.
Everyone is welcome, so bring your family and friends who are home for the holidays.
