Homecoming - Sept. 14




“A return to one’s home; arrival at home.” That’s how the dictionary defines homecoming. At Lafayette Park UMC, we’re celebrating Homecoming on September 14, and everyone is invited!

Traditionally, Homecoming is a time for former members and attendees to return to the church they once called home, but now—for a variety of reasons—no longer attend on a regular basis. It gives them the opportunity to reconnect with friends and to see what’s going on in the church community of which they were once a part. To this end, we’re publicizing the day in News & Views, on the church website and to those in the LPUMC email group, and in MO UM Net News.

This year, we’d like to broaden the invitation to include those looking for a church home. News of Homecoming will be included in the LPUMC article in the September issue of the Marquis and, if possible, will also travel through electronic avenues to reach those in the surrounding area.

If you know of past friends of the church who would like to revisit LPUMC and/or those who would enjoy learning more about us, please invite them to worship and fellowship with us on September 14 at 10 AM.
