About the One Georgia UMC Unification Plan
There are big changes happening in the life of the North Georgia Conference, and we want to make sure all at St Paul UMC are informed about it. First, a little background: In July 2024, the Southeastern Jurisdictional Conference adopted a Georgia Episcopal Area and assigned Bishop Robin Dease as resident bishop, serving both the North and South Georgia Annual Conferences, effective September 1, 2024.

After a year and a half of prayerful study, engagement, discernment, and diligent work, the Common Table of the North Georgia Annual Conference and the Leadership Forum of the South Georgia Annual Conference have put forth the Georgia Unification Plan to bring all of Georgia’s UMC churches together as one Annual Conference.

I was thinking there was no way we were going to pack the thousands of food bags to be delivered, but we did! It was a well oiled machine.

Wellroot Family Services/Stewart Center Christmas Project 2025
Once again this year St. Paul UMC will provide Christmas gifts for children and families who receive services from Wellroot Family Services and the Stewart Center. We will sponsor six children from Wellroot. Once we receive the children’s wish lists, we will hang ornaments on a Christmas tree in Chester Commons. Some ornaments will bear the name and age of one of the children and a gift that the child requested on his or her wish list. Other ornaments will bear a QR code which will link you to the church’s website so that you can make a monetary donation. We expect the tree with the ornaments will be in place by Sunday, November 9. If you select an ornament with a gift, please bring the gift unwrapped to the church office or leave it under the tree in Chester Commons by Wednesday, December 3. If you pick an ornament
