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!
Yoga - Mondays & Thursdays, 4-7 pm
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.
Book Lover's Club - Third Monday of each month, 1 pm
If you love to read, join us for some stimulating conversation and company! We meet monthly at Market Square Coffee in downtown Paducah to discuss our current selection. We read a variety of books and look for a message that opens our hearts and minds. It's fun, casual and sure to challenge you to look at literature in a new light. Please send an email if you are interested.
Dinner for 8 or 18 - When the mood strikes
Some critics thought of Jesus as a glutton and a drunkard because he wasn't afraid of a party. Neither are we! Whenever the mood strikes, we'll meet up at someone's house for an evening of feasting and even a bit of responsible imbibing. These gatherings are informal and no one goes away regretting the fun they've had.
Jesus Goes To The Movies - When the mood strikes
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.
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.
