Looking Ahead at First UMC Roseville

Pop-Up Craft Fair on Sunday, Nov. 30: Need a Christmas ornament? Last minute gifts? The Creative Christian Crafters (3C's) will be hosting a pop-up fair during fellowship time.


Introducing WOW - Worship on Wednesday:  Beginning Dec. 3 we're launching a new midweek worshipping community called WOW. Services will be held at 8:00 PM in Backman Hall. All are welcome, with special attention and hospitality extended to our unhoused neighbors.


Day of Belonging - New Members Sunday: We will be receiving new members on December 7 during worship.  If you would like to be included on this day of belonging (baptism and/or membership) please see Pastor Angel. 


Ministry Empowerment Fair and Christmas Cookie Exchange: Sunday, December 7, during fellowship time: Learn more about the ministries, small groups, and committees of First Church Roseville and discover ways you can get involved, share your gifts, and help shape our ministry together. 


Advent Worship Series, From the Stump,, New Life - Restoration, Resilience, Rebirth: This advent we will listen again to Isaiah's vision of a shoot springing from the stump of Jesse and to Matthew's story of Christ's coming. Out of what seems lifeless, God brings forth new life.  In a world that feels weary and worn, these ancient words call us to hope - to trust that God's promise still takes root, grows strong, and bears fruit.


Sock It To Me!: Sock Collection Drive: We're collecting new socks to support our neighbors experiencing homelessness in our community. Bring new socks (all sizes welcome!) and place them in the collection bin in the narthex.  Donations of new or gently used jackets and sweaters are also welcome.  

Get Involved: Ongoing Small Groups

Please Note: Due to the Thanksgiving holiday, the Holy Grounds Lectionary Study and Pastor's Book Club will not meet this week.
