Your message could be about what you love about St. Paul’s, what it feels like to “spread your wings” and help others or what you are most looking forward to in the next few months.

On Mother’s Day we celebrate the power and presence of a mother’s love in our lives. In this week’s Gospel reading, we are reminded of the power and presence of Jesus’ love in our lives. It is a love that surrounds us now and lasts for eternity. Join us as we give thanks to God for the power of encouraging love in our lives. Find us on Facebook at St. Paul's United Methodist Church-Rochester.

We continue in our series, “We Are Witnesses” listening to a lesson on baptism. This morning text from Revelations offers a rich depth to our theology of baptism as we are not baptized so that we are sealed off from anything bad from happening to us. Rather we are baptized into the triumphant church trusting in God’s deliverance and presence in our lives. As witnesses, we are faithful to God through actively participating in the life of the church.

God & Imagination
Sometimes, your prayers get stale. Words of scripture become just print on paper. How can you break out of that? Tune in to learn more about holy imagination as a way to refresh your walk with God.
