Beginning April 19 and running through May 24, St. Paul's will explore that question together through The After Party — a free, six-part video course designed to help churches and individuals develop a biblically grounded approach to political life. Led by Shane Sanders, this six-week study will meet on Sunday mornings at 9:00 AM. A Zoom link will be available for those joining remotely. The After Party was created by Curtis Chang and features voices from across the Christian spectrum, including New York Times columnist David French and Christianity Today Editor-in-Chief Russell Moore. Rather than focusing on parties or candidates, the course asks a deeper question: How do we relate to others — even those we deeply disagree with — in a way that looks more like Jesus? All are welcome — no sign-up and no preparation required. Just show up Sunday morning at 9:00 AM, in person or via Zoom. https://www.saintpauls-ucc.org/events/hot-topic-the-humanity-of-our-approach-to-child-maltreatment-matters monthly 0.5 2026-03-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e23980bb60922103eb8e8b9/7bb04f64-bee4-4541-8747-c34cc4b9e3b8/child+event.jpg Events - Hot Topic: The Humanity of Our Approach to Child Maltreatment Matters - Make it stand out Hot Topic Discussion | The Humanity of Our Approach to the Prevention and Treatment of Child Maltreatment Matters Presenter: Pat J.

Our New Member Orientation will take place following worship services on October 5, 12, and 19, with new members being welcomed into our congregation during worship on October 26. During these three sessions, you'll dive deeper into what makes St. Paul's special - our mission, our ministries, and our shared life together. We'll help you discover meaningful ways to contribute your gifts and talents, whether you're already drawn to particular areas of ministry or excited to explore new possibilities. You'll also connect with other new members who are on this same journey. Our meetings are warm and conversational—a chance to ask questions, share your story, and learn about the commitments and joys of membership at St. Paul's. We'll provide all the details you need as we prepare for your official welcome in October. We're genuinely excited to welcome you and can't wait to see how God will work through you in our congregation. Questions? Pastor Dietmar and Pastor Grace are eager to connect with you. https://www.saintpauls-ucc.org/events/hot-topic-suicide-prevention monthly 0.5 2025-09-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e23980bb60922103eb8e8b9/72e78f73-23d7-44f3-acde-de51b422f20d/Hot+Topic+October+5+corrected+website.png Events - Hot Topic - Suicide Prevention - Make it stand out Hot Topic on October 5 at 9:00 AM | Suicide Prevention - Churches' Interventions before, during, and after Suicidal Crises Join us for our first Hot Topic on October 5 at 9:00 AM, where David Lilley will speak about Suicide Prevention.

How do we work to embrace this change, rather than shy away or pull back from it? This series will challenge us to believe that we are created for change, let old expectations fall away, and give us the courage to take the first step towards newness and change!

"Good Enough" invites us to embrace our imperfections and discover the freedom that comes from self-acceptance. This countercultural series asks us to consider: What if life isn't about climbing ladders of success or collecting impressive experiences? What if, instead of striving for perfection, we learn to love ourselves as God loves us? Each Sunday during our 10:30 AM worship service, we'll discover how slowing down, letting go of unrealistic expectations, and embracing our authentic selves can lead to deeper spiritual growth. Whether you're a longtime member or new to our community, all are welcome to join this journey toward self-acceptance and discovering how much God loves you just as you are. https://www.saintpauls-ucc.org/events/meet-eat-march25 monthly 0.5 2025-03-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e23980bb60922103eb8e8b9/2c4245fa-6589-4168-95fb-fe756ef027ef/Beige+Retro+Potluck+Dinner+Party+Restaurant+Poster+%281080+x+1080+px%29+%281934+x+600+px%29.png Events - Meet & Eat - Make it stand out Meet & Eat on March 23 after Church Join us for our Meet & Eat fellowship gathering on March 23, immediately following our 10:30 AM worship service.

Our Messy Church team has many fun (and slightly messy) activities and crafts planned for us, and we hope you can join us as we explore the Bible story of Luke 7:36-50 together. The Bible teaches us a lot about forgiveness – how we can be forgiven and how we should be willing to forgive others. Most of us don’t always find this easy, especially if we have been hurt. Still, in teaching his followers to pray, Jesus includes the lines, ‘Forgive our sins, just as we have forgiven those who did wrong to us’ (Matthew 6:12). Jesus’ forgiveness is not like our natural inclination to only forgive as we feel is justified, but instead it is a forgiveness for all, and of all. He wants us to forgive others this way, too. Please sign up in advance to help us ensure there are enough supplies and food for everyone. https://www.saintpauls-ucc.org/events/winter-gathering monthly 0.5 2025-02-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e23980bb60922103eb8e8b9/856bf974-f534-46d2-94ee-e8c07ab86f56/ona+winter+gathering+2025.png+%281934+x+600+px%29.png Events - Winter Gathering - Make it stand out ONA Ministry Team Winter Gathering - March 1 For more info and registration info, click here.

The women at the tomb that morning must have thought they were crazy. I think most of us would think it was a dream. It was only when these women were reminded of their teacher’s words that they snapped out of their confusion. Sometimes it is difficult for us to snap out of our confusion about our faith too. When Easter comes every year, we are reminded of the beautiful and amazing mystery that is the resurrection of Jesus. It helps us to snap out of our daze and remember that this was foretold for generations and that believers all over the world continue to tell this story to those who listen. We believe because we have faith and we tell the story with joy, just like the women told the disciples. Each time we tell the story our faith grows, as does our love for Jesus Christ. Come to Easter Messy Church on March 10 at 4 p.m. and explore the joy of Easter with us!

Please remember that it only requires a card or note every now and then and on special occasions (especially the person’s birthday) to let them know they are being thought of in prayer. You simply sign your card or note to whoever it is with the words “Your Prayer Partner” and St. Paul's return address. Then, next Christmastime make known to that person your identity with a small gift. https://www.saintpauls-ucc.org/events/christmas-day-devotion monthly 0.5 2022-12-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e23980bb60922103eb8e8b9/a6e8284b-c435-4372-be97-55f3312883e6/Christmas+Day+%28967+%C3%97+300+px%29.png Events - Christmas Day Devotion - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.saintpauls-ucc.org/events/teen-group-1 monthly 0.5 2023-01-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e23980bb60922103eb8e8b9/174a9a35-1c28-44ba-9544-03d019216e4f/Teen+Group.png Events - Teen Group - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.saintpauls-ucc.org/events/kids-night-out-january monthly 0.5 2023-01-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e23980bb60922103eb8e8b9/b8fec458-d549-4740-a34b-0744d5d746ba/Kids+Night+Out.png Events - Kids Night Out - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.saintpauls-ucc.org/events/messy-church-january monthly 0.5 2023-01-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e23980bb60922103eb8e8b9/188145bd-d3b5-4e74-a644-f1a1b1a36739/Messy+Church+January+2023+%28Instagram+Post+%28Square%29%29+%28Presentation+%28169%29%29+%28967+%C3%97+300+px%29.png Events - Messy Church January - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.saintpauls-ucc.org/events/messy-church-december-2022 monthly 0.5 2022-11-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e23980bb60922103eb8e8b9/37cceff4-8b76-4008-8e8e-9838608351ad/Messy+Church+December+2022+%28967+%C3%97+300+px%29.png Events - Messy Church - Make it stand out Sign up below for our December Messy Church.
