What if play isn't a distraction from our faith — but a way of experiencing God more deeply?
Beginning August 9, Eastern Parkway UMC will embark on a four-week worship series called A Season of Play. Together, we'll explore how joy, delight, curiosity, creativity, laughter, and wonder are woven into God's invitation to abundant life.
The series begins while Pastor Kate is away on vacation, with Rebecca Oliver preaching on August 9 and 16. Pastor Kate will return to conclude the series on August 23 and 30, as together we'll discover that play isn't just for children —it's a spiritual practice that can renew our hearts, strengthen our relationships, and help us encounter God in fresh and surprising ways.
Each week, worship will include simple, playful experiences for all ages, inviting us to engage our faith with open hearts, curious minds, and joyful spirits.
To celebrate the beginning of this joyful journey, our Hospitality Team will host an Ice Cream Social immediately following worship on August 9. Everyone is invited to stay for a sweet treat, laughter, and fellowship!
Come ready to wonder, create, smile, and discover anew the God who delights in us. We hope you'll join us for this joyful season of worship!
