Top 5 @ SPUMC
A CHORUS OF GENEROSITY is the theme of our Fall Stewardship Campaign. We invite you to take the 30-day Generosity Challenge of everyday acts of faith and kindness that you’ll find in your November Octagon or online here. We are also looking for people who are willing to: 1) Share a 1-Minute Witness in church on why you invest yourself and your financial support in SPUMC and/or 2) Offer to Serve on our Leadership team in some capacity. EVERYONE is invited to Bring a Commitment Card (available at the Welcome Desk or online) on Thanks & Giving Sunday, November 22 to claim your part in SPUMC's Chorus of Generosity. Contact Rev. Ron to learn more.
One of our favorite fall traditions is just around the corner! Join us on Tuesday, November 24 at 7pm, for a special Thanksgiving worship service with our friends at Asbury Town Neck UMC (429 Asbury Dr., Severna Park). We'll come together in gratitude and celebration, with beautiful music from our combined praise teams and choirs. It's always a highlight of the season and a wonderful opportunity to worship alongside
our neighbors.
JOIN US FOR S’MUSIC & S’MORES, our family-friendly holiday festival on Sunday, December 6 from 5‑7pm. Gather 'round the crackling flames, sip some cocoa, and enjoy s’mores. A sumptuous baked potato bar dinner, music, a photo booth, an impromptu pageant, and more awaits! Sign up to bring something for the baked potato bar.
Our church hosted Winter Relief from November 2–9, providing a welcoming temporary home for about 35 unhoused neighbors throughout the week. Volunteers served as hosts and spent time with our guests, helped prepare and serve meals, provided transportation, did laundry, assisted with activities, and lent a hand in countless other ways. Many thanks to all of you who stepped forward to make our guests feel so welcome, especially Carolyn & Don Heim who so capably led this effort.
We'in the midst of 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.
