Letter from Pastor Todd

Welcome  long time friends, members, shut ins, and  inquiring guests of  St. Paul’s UMC.  If this is your first time checking us out, I think you will agree after taking a look that we are a small, but mighty church. If you are a reader every month, we thank you for supporting us and for being a part of our congregation  and / or community.

Well!!!!!  This morning before beginning work on our monthly newsletter I booked my vacation for September. We will be going to Piney Point, Maryland; the northern most part of the Cheasapeake Bay.  I am excited. I love the smell and sounds of the beach. The dogs will be excited too...as they will have a nice fenced in yard to run around in!!!!  My vacation this year will run from Monday, September 8th — Monday, September 15th. My preaching coverage on Sunday, September 14th will be a retired pastor and dear friend of mine, Pastor Kimberly Leskowich. Pastor Kim just retired in June of 2025, giving up 2  churches. We met while I was in my early 20’s.  Her and her husband sat in the pew behind me in church!!! We have been dear friends ever since...both leaving the pews for the pulpit.  

Those of you who know me best...well, really those of you who know me even a little...know that I love all types of music. So I am enjoying my August Sermon Series immensely. Each Sunday I have chosen a different song that has had an enormous impact on our culture and using it to dive deeper into some of the waters of the OLD and NEW Testament’s.   I hope you enjoy hearing the messages as much as I enjoy preparing them.  

God bless, Pastor Todd Glasmire
