Top 5 @ SPUMC

SPUMC will host our Winter Relief Mission from November 2–9, providing a welcoming temporary home for 25–45 unhoused neighbors throughout the week. Volunteers can serve as hosts and spend time with our guests, help prepare and serve meals, provide transportation, do laundry, assist with activities, and lend a hand in countless other ways. Whether you can give a few hours or serve multiple shifts, there’s a place for you. Sign up below to help or donate. Questions about Winter Relief? Contact Carolyn Heim. 

We've just begun an extended worship series that is exploring the major people, events, and themes in the Old and New Testaments. Together we’re learning to "connect the dots" and read the Bible with greater context as we seek to find our place in God’s Big Picture. There are multiple ways for you to engage with this series in addition to coming to worship on Sunday mornings:

1) Follow and Contribute to The Big Picture Blog that is updated weekly. 
2) Post Your Favorite Bible Verse on the Big Picture display in Fellowship Hall.
3) Catch Up on the Services You Miss in person. We are now posting BOTH the 9:15am & 10:45am services weekly. 

Be part of From Genesis to Revelation, a new online study that Pastor Byron is offering that begins October 13 and will run through the end of May. The class will meet on Tuesday evenings at 7:30pm via Zoom and will be recorded to view at other times. The schedule is available on the Fall events webpage and at the Welcome Desk.

I TAKE MY COFFEE BLACK is the first book the Faith & Race group will be discussing this fall at their October 27 at 7pm in the Parlor. In this powerful and engaging memoir, Tyler Merritt (creator of the viral video "Before You Call the Cops") shares his experiences as a Black man in America with truth, humor, and poignancy. Copies of the book ($10) are at the Welcome Desk. ron@severnaparkumc.org

On Sunday, November 1, we will light candles and remember the lives of the people who have died this past year. If you have a family member or friend who you’d like added to the Roll Call of the Saints Departed, send their name and date of death to the church office. You may also bring in a framed picture (4x6 or 5x7) or send a digital photo we can frame for the altar.
