You are welcome as a loved family member. Whether you are the wise grandparent, the strange uncle, the supportive aunt, the gregarious child, the moody sibling, the stubborn grandchild, you help to complete this family of God. We know that our family is incomplete without the gifts of our whole family being recognized and used. We strive to live the teachings of Jesus, loving everyone, judging no one, teaching and serving all, and holding each other up in prayer.
Welcome to Rupert UMC!

Sunday School 9:45 a.m. Worship 11:00 a.m.

A four week Advent Study will start on Sunday, November 30, 2025, titled “The Heart That Grew Three Sizes; Finding Faith in the Story of the Grinch”.
Rediscover the gift of Advent that comes without packages, ribbons, and bows.

We don’t know why the Grinch hated Christmas. We just know he did. In this new Advent study, Matt Rawle explores the faith themes in the Christmas classic, How the Grinch Stole Christmas! including, how did the Grinch’s heart grow three sizes come Christmas morning? How did Christmas save the Grinch? Could it be that the very thing we think we hate is the one thing that changes our lives? This Advent and Christmas season, look at a familiar classic through the lens of faith and see how Christ speaks to us through our culture.

Christmas food boxes will be given out on Saturday, December 13 from 9-11 a.m. first come, first serve. The person collecting the box must be a family member and not picking up a box for a friend or neighbor
