United Methodist Church of Palm Springs
Celebrating 50 Years of Ministry
Greetings!
 
 

     We are delighted to invite you to two events celebrating the church's 50 years of ministry in the Coachella Valley. The first worship service of The Methodist Church of Palm Springs was held 50 years ago yesterday on September 16, 1962. Having adopted the United part of the denominational name in 1968, we are now known as The United Methodist Church of Palm Springs. We can think of nothing more wonderful than to have you join us for this our final celebration weekend.

Saturday October 13th:

2:00 PM - 4:00 PM Open House                    

4:00 PM-5:30 PM 50 Years of Music in Concert and Remembrances

Featuring:

Wayne Hinton

 Charlene Ryan-Moore

 Shelby Davis

 Jaci Davis

Se Layne

 and even a few surprises

in the Fellowship Hall

Sunday October 14th:

10:00 AM Worship and Rededication Service

11:30 AM Hosted Buffett Luncheon in the Fellowship Hall

 

     We know that many of you have been looking forward to renewing friendships and offering your best wishes to the church as we journey on through the 21st century. Please let us know if you will be attending one or both events, by calling or emailing the office.

 

Peace, in the name of the Christ,

 

Rev. Amanda

 

 

  

 

     You're invited to once again dive in with Palm Springs United Methodist for Operation Overboard Returns: Dare to Go Deep with God! Come explore God's underwater universe with us as we discover what it means to have deep faith in God. Meet OTTO, Ocho's cousin! We will sing, do crafts, play games and learn about a father's love for his son and his relentless pursuit to bring his son home as we watch the movie NEMO. We will have pizza for dinner. If your child has other special food choices please pack them and send them along. Please have the kids wear comfy clothes and bring a sleeping bag or soft blanket and pillow for the floor. They may also bring a bag of snacks to share during the movie.

 Cost: Donation

     For more information about our Operation Overboard Returns Kids Night Out,

                           The Help

 

      

     Would you like to take a step back to a quiter, gentler time? To  forget you ever saw words beginning with "ap" or small " i "? Then you can do that and help The Library Ladies by using that modern marvel- the Typewriter! This is not a rocket science; it 's not even library science. We're short-handed and could use some help on an occasional basis. No prior knowledge of a library is needed, and it would be at most a few times a month. 

    

     If this sounds like something you would be willing to do, please call Dorothy Nelson at 760.320.2877 or Nancy Clark at 760.323.6078
