Back to Church Sunday is 9/14

Once again, Monaca UMC will be celebrating Back to Church Sunday! This year’s theme is Life is Better Together, with a focus on Matthew 18:20:

“For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them.”
-Matthew 18:20

See Pastor Jim’s September Message for insights on this theme.

The church is more than our beautiful facilities—it’s a community where we can find encouragement, purpose, and hope. We welcome you to be a part of this growing community of believers!

September 14th will serve as the first day of regular Sunday School for kids and adults. The adults will begin meeting at 10am before worship each Sunday, and the kids will continue to have their lessons immediately following the children’s message during 11am worship. Special thanks to Jennifer Hamner and all of the volunteers who make Sunday School possible for the kids!

After worship, the Back to Church celebration will continue with donuts, fellowship, and games in the Carey Center. There is no need to RSVP—The more, the merrier!

Let’s get back to church together!

Coming Up…
