Annual Easter Egg Hunt – March 29, 2023

Fun was had by all at this year’s Easter Egg Hunt! The Easter Bunny and her sister gave out hugs and treats as the children anxiously awaited the word “GO!” There was a flurry of pastel colors and smocking to get to those eggs. Many babies were satisfied with just one egg while the older children were on a race for the Prize Egg. Thank you to Sharon Bunn, Carol Henderson, Merett and Lon Alexander (homeowners), Joy Sloan Bohn (pictures), parents, participants, Libbie Key, Mary Dell Borneman, those who donated eggs, and to the youth for hiding eggs!

Celebrating Nan Konze’s Retirement!

On Friday, February 24, 2023, all were invited to a reception honoring Mrs. Nan Konze. “Miss” Nan has led our Preschool with so much love for the past nine years! Nan, thank you for loving so many little ones, as well as the teachers, the parents, and St. Paul UMC. Your leadership has been invaluable to the Preschool. We’ll see her as a fellow member, so please congratulate her!

“Less of Me” by Jake Hess, III

Jake, Leader of our Praise Band, is a Nashville musician with his own family legacy of faith-based music. This is an original song Jake shared during our Contemporary Worship Service on January 22, 2023. Jake’s artful song shares his personal revelation on how he’s welcomed distractions, leading him away from God–and how he aims to change that.

Get Ready for Small Groups!

If you missed being part of a small group in the Fall, please consider joining Small Groups this season! Think of how much Jesus’ friends learned in His small group setting. Groups are fun, easy-going, non-intimidating, and often work very well to find a time of worship among peers. Plus, our Small Groups are supported with Sunday Sermon Series.

You will be hearing from Group Leaders soon! If you want to join a group, please contact theresa@stpaulunitedmethodist.com.
