State of Our Church congregation meeting today

Do you wonder how Belmont UMC is doing? What challenges are facing us? A special State of Our Church presentation in the sanctuary after today’s 10:30am worship service will address these questions. This gathering will take only about 30 minutes and will review the many ways we are supporting Belmont UMC through our prayers, presence, gifts, service, and witness. Louis Jordan, John Peace, Kim Sheehan, and Pastor Paul will present valuable information and reflections on our present state and future challenges. Please plan to attend.

Easter egg hunt this Saturday

Belmont UMC's annual Easter egg hunt is this Saturday, April 1. We'll gather in the Community Center at 10:00am (rain or shine) to begin the fun. This event is sponsored by the Belmont UMC Children’s Ministry and the Weekday School, and is always well attended. Come early to get a good parking space and bring a bag or basket for your child to collect eggs in. Infants-2nd grades will hunt for eggs and 3rd-6th graders will navigate a scavenger hunt in the church.

Palm Sunday parade

Sunday, April 2, is Palm Sunday and Belmont UMC's children will welcome Jesus with a parade. They will let Hillsboro Village and the congregation know that Jesus is coming through singing and waving palm branches. Read more

Sunday school helper needed

Belmont UMC's Children's Ministry is excited to be able to open our 1st-2nd grade classroom again next school year! To do this, we need a helper for this class who is willing to volunteer to assist twice a month. We are also looking for helpers for our Godly Play class (3-years - kindergarten) to help a few times a month. If you can help or have questions, please contact Pastor Kate. Thank you for considering this important role in our Children's Ministry.
