Come and work on your “temple” to keep it toned or even get into a little better shape than you’re currently in. Movement is good both physical and mental wellbeing.

An outdoor experience! This group meets in the gardens weekly on Friday mornings to keep our church grounds looking beautiful. They keep up with the many small (and some not-so-small) gardening maintenance tasks. If you love to rake, weed, prune, maybe tinker or just get your fingers in the dirt, we’d love to have you join us! Our group is getting older and can certainly use some younger energy from time to time. We’d appreciate any time you can devote to this. Even if you can join us just once a month or so.

This adult choir meets for rehearsals once a week to come together and tune up in order to make beautiful music for Sunday worship services. Come and join us! Child care is available.

These young voices of St. Paul’s UMC have a weekly 1 hour rehearsal which includes some singing and some beginning handbell instruction. (Adults interested in learning handbells are welcome to join). This group will usually sing during a church service once a month. Anne Talcott and Michelle and Darin Brown work so well with these kids to bring out their love for music. Rehearsal will be in the Music Room.

The church staff meets once a week in the office to review & discuss what’s been happening, what’s scheduled, any problems and how we can improve to make St. Paul’s a place for people to feel welcomed and included. They discuss the coming week(s) to make things flow as they should seek assistance from other team members if needed to make sure everything runs smoothly..

The Centering Prayer group has decided to break until fall. We should start up again in Sept. In the meantime, here’s some information about what Centering Prayer is. Hope to see you in the fall!

The Centering Prayer group meets on Tuesdays, at 6pm, in the Fireside Room. Centering prayer is a silent prayer. Similar to but different from meditation, it is clearing your mind, listening (instead of asking and praising) and consenting to the presence and activity of God in one’s life. It works to get one closer to God. Everyone experiences centering prayer in their own way. We also have a brief reading and discussion period before we begin our prayer time. Please come and join our small group..

Please come and join in our Library us as we explore the Bible and discuss and maybe get some answers &/or insights as to some meanings of happenings or behaviors, relationships between people and between the people and God and how it all affects and relates to our lives now. On March 19, we started our study of Paul and will continue with Paul most likely through April.

This group meets weekly at Prestige Senior Living. All are welcome to join in our discussion as we continue to read and explore our current book.

This is open to anyone who has volunteered to support Family Promise by helping to set up or clean up for our hosting weeks, driven the van, stayed overnight, provided a meal or part of a meal donated items or funds or helped in any way. Also, if you have not had a chance to volunteer and would like to find out how you can help, you’re also invited.

At the supper we’ll be sharing some new information with everyone on California’s additional requirements for any organization/volunteers working with children and youth.

A wonderful opportunity for folks to come meet and get to know Pastor Allison other than just the Pastor in the pulpit. It’s a great way to meet others from the congregation and find out about the different ministries of our church if you’re so inclined.

Stay after service and join us for coffee & fellowship where you can grab a cup of coffee, water or lemonade and a bite to eat and then, if you’d like, you can meet up with old friends or maybe meet some new ones!

Please join us in the Sanctuary as we gather for worship. Whether you live in the area or are passing through our city, you’re welcome to come worship with us . Our services are in-person. Past services can be viewed on-line. Visit our website at www.stpaulsmanteca.org and scroll to the bottom for links to our Facebook page or youtube to view past services.

Kids’ Zone is available where the children can, if they’d like, leave the sanctuary service with the youth leadership team around 10:20 for their lessons.

For those interested, there is coffee and fellowship time available after service where you can grab a cup of coffee, water or lemonade and a bite to eat and then, if you’d like, you can meet up with friends or maybe meet someone new!

We look forward to seeing you Sunday!
