Licorice Chicks Perform At St. Paul’s
The Licorice Chicks, a regional clarinet ensemble, graced St. Paul’s with their musical gifts during the August 2, 2026 service. Their offerings included “Hallelujah” as the prelude, “Solace” for the Offertory, and “Just a Closer Walk” for the Postlude.
We are deeply grateful to the Licorice Chicks for spending their Sunday morning with us and sharing such beautiful music. Their presence was a true blessing to our worship.
Mustard Seed Grant Activity
Earlier this year, St. Paul’s was blessed to receive a $2,000 Mustard Seed Grant from the United Methodist Foundation of Michigan to support immigrants and refugees in our community.
These funds allowed us to provide essential items—groceries, meals, school supplies, hygiene products, and laundry detergent—to immigrant and refugee families living in Monroe. Through this grant, we were able to extend care in meaningful, practical ways, offering relief and hospitality to those seeking stability and hope.
We are deeply grateful for the Mustard Seed Grant provided by UMCOR, which made it possible for us to share God’s love through detergent and laundry supplies, personal hygiene items, and groceries for migrant and refugee families.
Praise God for grace and mercy.
Sunday Service Happenings…
On Sunday, July 19, we reflected 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 celebrated the abundance of God’s beauty and creativity woven throughout the world around us.
Attendees were invited to bring something from nature—a flower, rock, shell, leaf, or any small treasure—and place it on the altar. Together, we created a joyful, “wild” display of God’s creation.
After worship, the display was moved to Fellowship Hall so everyone could enjoy it during social time.
Here are some of the wonderful items the congregation brought for the July 19 service:
The 2026 MIchigan Annual Conference:
It was a fantastic night of Summer Band music, and everyone had an amazing time!

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.
