Christ umc events

-- encounter christ --

Christ UMC has many events! Just a few examples include monthly small group gatherings, quarterly blood drives, and our large annual events like Vacation Bible Camp and the Santa Breakfast. If you are hoping to register for an event, get more information about something, or just get a snapshot of what we're doing in the next few weeks, you are in the right place!


If you are looking to volunteer or assist with an event, please visit the Volunteer Sign Ups page.


If there is an event you are looking for that seems to be missing, registration may not be open yet. You can always call 215-855-1643 or email the church office to get more information.

  • Please consider joining us for a series of events to celebrate our 150th Anniversary! To see the updated list of special events, please click here.  If you would like more information about any of these events, please contact the church office.

  • Throughout the school year, we have highlighted our preschool artists on Sunday mornings and displayed their artwork in the lobby. Throughout the summer, we want to highlight our children and youth.


    How will this work? Sign up on the SignUpGenius for a day that you will be in worship. Drop off the artwork you want to display by the Wednesday before. This will give us time to photograph it and include it in our Friday email. Then, come to church early to be announced during worship and stay after the service to talk about your artwork!


    We will have just one person/family per service each Sunday. So siblings can display together or they can be on different days, if you prefer. You can just list all the kids that will be included in the comment line when you sign up.


    What can be displayed? We invite you to choose 3-6 items. If they are items that we can't hang up, and would need a table, please let me know ahead of time. Please note that the art should be child appropriate and not scary. No weapons allowed. (Remember that kindergarteners often find their first fire drill scary, so use that knowledge to assess your artwork.)


    If you have any questions, please reach out to Pastor Tawny or Nick Hill.

  • WANTED: You and your musical gifts! Each summer, we ask anyone in the church to bring their musical gifts to present special music for our anthem. Instrumentalists, singers, dancers, solos, small ensembles, large groups, all musicians are encouraged at any age and any skill level! If you need an accompanist, just let us know and we can help! Visit this link to sign up! Musicians are needed every Sunday for each service from June 22nd - August 31st. You can sign up for one or many services.

  • Volunteers for Marvin's Home will meet at 9:30 at the warehouse, located at 650 N. Cannon Avenue in Lansdale. The entrance is just before the traffic light at 7th St. Drive all the way around the back of the building and continue about halfway up the other side. You can park near Marvin's Home door.  Sign up to help here.

  • Join us in praying for the success of our Vacation Bible Camp, for thanks to God for all the ways he blesses us, and for support for all those attending and helping with Vacation Bible Camp. You can access the Prayer Calendar here and view it online or print it off to help guide you in prayer each day with our church family.

The retreat is a way to foster fellowship among women who desire to grow closer to God.
