This Sunday…
On Sunday, July 19, we’ll reflect on Romans 8:12–25, which speaks of creation groaning as it waits for Christ to restore what is broken. In the midst of that longing, we will celebrate the abundance of God’s beauty and creativity woven throughout the world around us.
You’re invited to bring something from nature—a flower, rock, shell, leaf, or any small treasure you’ve found—and place it on the altar. Together, we’ll create a joyful, “wild” display of God’s Creation.
After worship, the display will be moved to Fellowship Hall so everyone can enjoy it during the social time.
The 2026 MIchigan Annual Conference:
America 250
St. Paul’s UMC joined the city‑wide America 250 Celebration on July 8. At 5:55–5:58 p.m., our church bell rang in harmony with other downtown congregations, marking the moment together as a community. At 6:00 p.m., the Declaration of Independence was read in Loranger Square by students and other participants, a meaningful tribute to our nation’s history. The celebration continued throughout downtown with food trucks, craft booths, and music from the Air Force Band, creating a festive atmosphere for all who attended.
EVE CIRCLE celebration
Eve Circle ended its last gathering of the season with a fun celebratory lunch. The group will start meeting again in Fall 2026, and everyone is welcome to join when we kick things off.
Don’t miss your last chance to catch the Summer Band this season. Plan now to enjoy the concert!
Monday, July 27 at 7:00 PM — Summer Band Concert #3, Location: St. Paul’s UMC
