What’s Happening at United Church of Paducah
Sunday Service – 10 am
Welcome to one of Paducah’s warmest, most open-minded worship experiences! As you enter the sanctuary, no one will ask you to put on a tie or leave your brain and life experience at the door. Following Jesus’ example, you can count on being accepted for who you are – questions and all.
Our worship is at once lively and traditional, a balance that both anchors us in grace and sets each of us free to serve God in life-giving ways. Music here is a juicy mix of contemporary and classical. Expect the unexpected when it comes sermon time – particularly if you’ve outgrown the faith of your childhood. As worship ends, you’ll return to the world energized, hope-filled, and certain you are loved… by God and by us. There’s a place in our pews just for you!
Bible Study and Prayer Service – Wednesdays at 6:20 pm (following Music and Worship Ministry)
Each Wednesday, we meet in the parlor for Bible study, prayer, and fellowship. Following our Bible study, we spend a few minutes in complete silence – listening for that still, small voice that lets us know God is definitely still speaking!
Sunday School – Classes for adults and children following Sunday morning services
Classes provide the opportunity to further explore the scripture and its application to our everyday lives.
Ministering in Christ’s Name
“Love your neighbor as yourself” Jesus was quick to teach. Here at United Church of Paducah, we are always looking for ways to make a difference in the lives of neighbors far and near. We are actively involved with Broadway United Methodist Church’s Community Kitchen, making sure our brothers and sisters here in town have enough to eat.
We also support Paducah Cooperative Ministry – their food bank and homeless shelter make a huge difference in our area. Heifer Project International and Habitat for Humanity are two vital charitable organizations that we’re thrilled to help support.
Jesus Goes To The Movies – Second Sunday of each month
Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ aside, most contemporary films don’t have much religious content. That doesn’t mean that they can’t shed light on our spiritual journeys. Come join fellow film-lovers as we sample some of the best Hollywood has to offer and then stick around as we explore the spiritual themes and life lessons we find tucked inside.
Yoga
Jesus taught what he lived. Because this was his experience, Jesus proclaimed that we need not seek connection with God only in high places like the Temple but indeed can know and worship God inwardly, through our bodies and spirits.
With this in mind, United Church of Paducah is delighted to share space with Tim Whitaker and True North Yoga. Although yoga predates the Christian tradition, it is compatible with Christ’s teachings and, if desired, can be used to great effect in deepening relationship with the God that Jesus loved, serves, and shared with others.
We encourage you to visit True North Yoga’s website for more information.
