Loving God - Creating Hope - Changing Lives​
Picture


Worship at St. Paul's UMC follows the liturgical calendar which is centered on the festive days of Christmas and Easter. For each of these festivals, there is a season of preparation, a season of celebration, and a season of growth. Over the course of the year, the colors in our sanctuary will change to mark the changing liturgical seasons. These colors indicate the tone or emphasis of worship on the particular day or season.
