This Week at Sudbury United Methodist Church

Pastor Joel Guillemette and the congregation of the Sudbury United Methodist Church invite you to join them for the 9:30 a.m. worship service and activities on Sunday, October 18. The church is located at 251 Old Sudbury Road on Route 27 just east of the historic town center. The church is accessible and offers abundant parking.

Children worship with their families for the first fifteen minutes and then go to age-level classes. During the children’s time, the focus will be on Psalm 104 as the children decide who the “You” is who gives us all gifts and what these gifts are. Adults will listen and reflect on Pastor Joel’s sermon “Praying Like Jesus.” A 40-day season of prayer and daily devotions will be introduced.

On Sunday afternoon October 18 two musical events will be offered. From 2 to 4 p.m. there will be a country dance with live music. Admission is $10 per person with a maximum of $20 per family. Then at 4 p.m. there will be a free Connexions Concert featuring the musical talents of church members and guest artists.

Another event that the church’s Outreach Commission is sponsoring on Saturday, October 17 from 1 and 3 p.m. is a Halloween Party for the children living at Home Suites in Waltham. Volunteers will help the children make masks and cards, decorate cookies, and play games.

The Cancer Support group will meet in the O’Reilly room at the church on Wednesday October 21 from 6 to 7:30 p.m. This opportunity is for all whose life has been touched by cancer whether a patient, survivor, or caregiver. Sharing takes place in a confidential, supportive setting. Newcomers are always welcome.

On Wednesday October 21 from 6 to 7:15 p.m. there will be a Super Soup Supper and a Bible study for all ages. The theme for adults is how our fundamental beliefs as Christians nurture our stewardship.
