Our Worship Services
St. Paul's United Methodist Church in Greensboro, MD has many different services you can participate and worship in.
Sunday Service
Every week we worship together on Sunday at 11:00 AM.
Physically, our weekly worship service begins at 11:00 with the ringing of the old bell in the tower above the entrance to our sanctuary. But it truly begins within each and every person present. We welcome those we know, and those we just met. We talk about our week, and discuss how each other is doing. Support for one another is obvious across the congregation both young and old. We really are friends. ALL ARE WELCOME!
Music of Worship
Choir Director Katherine Schoonover
Practice at 6pm Wednesday evenings
Handbell Director MaryLou Riddleberger
Practice to resume soon.
Uplifting music by our choir and hand bell choir, along with a variety of special music programs for young and old alike add to the depth of feelings shared by all as we worship. If you love traditional Methodist hymns, you won't feel lost at St. Paul's. However, if you like newer, more contemporary music, you'll get a bit of that as well. More and more, we work to blend the old and the new.
Children's Sunday School

Adult Sunday School
Co-Leaders Kate Breeding & Mary Lou Riddleberger

- Our adult Sunday School class gets together each Sunday before worship service to discuss current topics and how they affect each and every one of us. Inspirational and informative, adult Sunday School is always interesting. We are currently discussing "The meaning of hymns and other contemporary music".

Help us work in the name of Jesus
It is our mission to nurture our love for God and extend his love through our care of others in and out of the church as we strive to be and to make disciples of Christ; to engage in outreach that helps others, meeting them where they are and connecting them with God’s love; and to increase our witness by making the gospel of Jesus Christ personal through worship and sharing it with others.
