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.

  • Our next softball season is here! Once again we will be playing all of our games on Tuesday evenings at 7 PM (warmups at 6:30 PM). Games will begin on May 5. We will also combine with Sanctuary for practice on Sunday, May 3 at 4 PM, before games start.


    If you are interested in joining, come on out to the field! You do not have to be a member of the church to play–feel free to invite a friend! Youth ages 13 and up are welcome to play with a responsible adult at the field.


    For more information and a game schedule, contact Kristi Weatherwax.

  • The Susanna Wesley Circle’s last meeting before the summer break will be a potluck picnic on Thursday, June 11 at 6:30. We will meet at the Plains Mennonite pavilion, located at Main Street and Orvilla Road in Lansdale. Bring a dish to share (with a serving spoon if needed). Plates, napkins, eating utensils, and beverages will be provided. Please use the SignUpGenius to indicate what you are bringing - main dish, side/salad, or dessert. We will also be taking suggestions for meetings for next year. Please join us for an evening of fellowship and delicious food. If you have not attended a circle meeting previously, this is a great, informal way to become acquainted. 

  • All are welcome. We will be playing at Mainland Golf Course. The first tee time will be 8:30 AM. Please sign up early. Tee times are limited to the first 8 foursomes.


    We will play golf followed by fellowship, including prizes. Scoring will be a Scramble format, always fun. Our Church Pre-School will be the charity again this year.


    If you have a prize to donate, a suggestion/question, or would like to sign up, please contact Don Albacker.

  • Sunday, June 14th is Graduate Sunday! If you have a graduate this year (high school, vocational school, college, or graduate school), we will be collecting their information to recognize them in the June Evangel and on Graduate Sunday! Please submit their information to the Google form linked here or reach out to the office so that we can celebrate their accomplishments!!


    If you are a graduate and would like to participate in the service on this Sunday, please contact the office or sign up for a role on the SignUpGenius--we love to celebrate you in person on that day, and also give you an opportunity to lead if you would like to do so!

  • This year's youth mission trip will be to Otterbein UMC in Lancaster City from June 21st- 27th. Otterbein serves a crucial role in helping provide for the unhoused population in Lancaster City, and we are going to help their mission. We will be staying at the church and will work in two groups to help update and renovate a room in the church, as well as help local resource hubs organize their inventory and package materials, leading up to helping the congregation lead a community impact event. The trip is open to students entering 7th grade in the fall through those graduating high school this spring. We will also need several adult volunteers to be Safe Sanctuary compliant and to help with food. We’d love to have you!! For more information, or if you have any questions, reach out to Nick Hill.

  • On Monday, June 22 at 10 AM in the Fellowship Hall, the Mission Committee will be hosting a meet and greet with Daniel and Kim, two of the missionaries we supported through our August 2025 Mission of the Month. They would like to thank CUMC for our support. This time of fellowship will include a short video with some testimonies of their work, a time to ask questions, and refreshments. If you are interested in attending please use the link here to RSVP, or contact Suzanne Williams or Sue Fetzer. 

  • At Snowball Mountain Challenge, your children will learn that God is the source of their strength!
