Top 5 @ SPUMC

Our Community Thanksgiving Service is this coming Tuesday, November 25 at 7pm here at SPUMC. This year it will include friends from Asbury Town Neck UMC, Asbury Arnold UMC, Asbury Broad Neck UMC and Mt. Calvary UMC (the churches that make up the new Rt. 2 Hub). Rev. Tori Butler will be preaching and our music teams will combine to help lead the worship. Nursery care will be available so bring your whole family and invite a friend. The service will also be Livestreamed.

Luke’s Gospel opens “in the time of Herod” - a world filled with fear, uncertainty, and division. Yet again and again, God’s messengers whisper, “Do not be afraid.” This Advent, we’ll face our own fears and learn how to move through them with faith and courage. Together, we’ll insist on hope - gritty, resilient hope - that believes the good news of Christ’s birth is still greater than fear.

We have SIX studies being offered this Advent season. View our Advent page to learn more about each and register.

S'Music & S'Mores is Sunday, December 7 from 5pm-7pm. Gather 'round the crackling flames, sip some hot cocoa, and enjoy S’Mores. There will be a baked potato bar dinner, music, crafts for all ages, an impromptu pageant, and more! This is a great intergenerational event for families, couples, singles and seniors. Sign up to bring potato toppings and to volunteer to help with set-up and clean-up.

The Angel Tree is up in Fellowship Hall and it's loaded with tags representing suggested gifts to children and adults in our local community! There are tags for children & teens through SPAN, Backpack Buddies, Heaven’s Kitchen, Arundel House of Hope Ministry, Book & Toy Ministry, and Welcome Home.  We invite you to share the joy of gift giving at Christmas with someone special - a great opportunity for families to participate in a mission together! Be sure to bring your gift(s) back to the church by the date indicated on the tag. Thanks! 

This season we are again filling bags with non-perishable food items for SPAN. Take a bag at any time, fill with one item per day, and return on any of the Sundays throughout December. Bags will be available in the Narthex and Fellowship Hall. Filled bags should be returned to the Missions counter in Fellowship Hall. View the list of suggested donations.
