Blessings from the Pastor’s messy desk. I am writing this as I savor the smells of Tuesday night supper being prepared for our fellow brothers and sisters. Yes, you can’t beat ham in the oven with scalloped potatoes, wafting to my office. Those souls who will enjoy this meal come to be served and that is what this church has done for 90 years. Yes, 90 years is a long time, but the hard work of all who volunteer are rewarded by the thankful smiles and full stomachs that are served.

I am asking all of us to take time today and pray in silent reflection for the children, the parents, the staff and the community in Minnesota in regard to the heinous shooting yesterday. Take a moment and share your thoughts with God.

Beloved, may we all take a deep breath and welcome God’s presence in our lives. I realize that it has been difficult to take a deep breath with all the ash from the fires, but as I pray for a good rain this week, my hope is renewed as the fires are put to sleep. Like many of you, I cringe to watch or hear the news, local or worldwide. Most of us are weary from bad news. From the craziness of politics to catastrophic destruction to airplane crashes, yes Lord, we are weary. I have and always will believe that from every crisis comes opportunity. An opportunity to find God in turbulent times. In every burned-out home and every broken heart lies opportunity. God is with us.

Ministry Groups

Project: NEEDS

Project:Needs has been serving the local South Bay Community for over 30 years. We offer a free hot meal every Tuesday at 5:15 pm prepared by local faith-based groups in our church kitchen. All are welcome.

Food Pantry

In partnership with the L.A. Food Bank, Project:NEEDS provides high quality grocery items, toiletries, hygience products and clothing on the first Thursday of each month from 9:00 am - 11:00 am.

Quilting Group

Our quilting group has been a pillar of our St. Paul's community for many years! It is open to anyone, and meets at the church on the second and fourth Monday of every month at 7pm. Beginners are welcome and no sewing experience is necessary!

Book Club

We meet every 3rd Monday of the month. One member picks the book to read that month and hosts the meeting, either at the church or their home.

Our Young Artists

Click here to view our amazingly talented young people and their creations.

We enjoy hosting creative artist experiences after church services when our Fairy Godmother of Creativity (Christie!) is available to bring her amazing talents to our fellowship hall. Everyone is always welcome!

St. Paul's loves music!

What better way to celebrate, worship together and raise the roof on the church than to fill the entire neighborhood with beautiful music!

We are blessed to have an incredible group of talented people who share their musical gifts with us each Sunday.

Sing or play an instrument? Reach out to be part of the celebration.

As a part of Reconciling Ministries Network, St. Paul's United Methodist Church affirms its' foundational statement as follows:

"We celebrate God's gift of diversity and value the wholeness made possible in a community equally shared and shepherded by all. We welcome and affirm people of every gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation, who are also of every age, race, ethnicity, physical and mental ability, level of education and family structure, and of every economic, immigration, marital and social status, and so much more. We acknowledge that we live in a world of profound social, economic, and political inequities. As followers of Jesus, we commit ourselves to the pursuit of justice and pledge to standing solidarity with all who are marginalized and oppressed."
