Welcome to Epworth United Methodist Church
We are an active community of faith striving to make a difference in people’s lives in the name of Jesus Christ to the glory of God.
Harvest Home Celebration
Our yearly Harvest Home Celebration will take place after the service on Sunday, November 24th. Everyone is invited and asked to bring a dish to share. A sign-up sheet will be available in the Narthex.
Grace Circle Nut Sale
Grace Circle’s Annual Nut Sale will begin on Sunday, November 3rd and continue through December 22. Nuts will be available for purchase before and after the worship service. The Nut Sale benefits the Health & Welfare Ministries and proceeds are distributed to local and worldwide missions. Order forms will be available in Narthex.
Prayer Shawl Ministry
The Prayer Shawl Ministry is happy to take requests for shawls. If you know of someone in need of a prayer shawl for comfort, health concerns, bereavement, celebration or praise, please reach out to any member on the Prayer Shawl Ministry or email Liz Rosvold.
Wednesday Night Discussion Group
We will be starting on Wednesday, September 25th, 2024 with the book, “Unafraid: Living with Courage and Hope in Uncertain Times” by the Rev. Adam Hamilton. We meet at 7 pm on ZOOM. For those are familiar, we will use the same ZOOM link as always! If you are interested in joining us, please see Pastor Rachel.
The Wednesday Night Discussion Group is a joint Bible study with Asbury United Methodist Church in Cinnaminson. Pastor Rachel and Pastor John lead the group discussions on Wednesday evenings at 7pm on Zoom. All are welcome to join in the discussion. For more information about this group, please contact the church office.
"The Chosen" Bible Study
Last year, we had a Bible Study on select Thursday nights that watched through the first 3 seasons of “The Chosen” series about the disciples of Christ. A common piece of feedback was how inspiring it was to see the stories of the Bible, even ones we know very well, presented and interpreted in new and refreshing ways! This fall, we will be watching through season 4 on select Thursdays from 7-8:30pm and discussing the themes. Anyone is welcome! You can find the schedule here.
Prayer Shawl Ministry
The Prayer Shawl Ministry is happy to take requests for shawls. If you know of someone in need of a prayer shawl for comfort, health concerns, bereavement, celebration or praise, please reach out to any member on the Prayer Shawl Ministry or email Barbara Beitz.
Pinochle Club
The Pinochle Club has decided to expand to two times per month, the first and third Saturday of each month with the start time returning to 1 pm. The first Saturday will feature “card exchange” pinochle while the third Saturday will remain regular pinochle. The club welcomes new members of any skill level. Come join us in the Library! Our next gathering is Saturday, June 15th. For more information, please contact Debbie Cheeseman.
Mah Jong
Did you know that Epworth has a Mah Jong group? They meet every Monday at 12:30 pm and are always looking for new people to join them. Everyone is welcome. Don’t know how to play? No problem. They will be happy to teach you. For more information, please contact Debbie Cheeseman.
