Community Events

WPUMC hosts a variety of community events each year that are free and open to the public. We welcome neighbors, preschool families, members, and everyone to join us! Watch the sign on Arizona Ave. or follow us on Facebook and Instagram to learn more about upcoming community events. 

Fall Festival

Each year, on the Saturday before Halloween, the WPUMC Preschool and Church hold a Fall Festival that is free and open to the Washington Park neighborhood. The festival features Halloween-themed carnival games, horse-drawn wagon rides, box mazes, a glow room, and food trucks. Attendees are encouraged to wear costumes.

Summer Food Trucks 

WPUMC hosts food trucks in the parking lot on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays during the summer months. Food trucks usually represent 2 savory and 1 sweet options. 

Concerts in the Courtyard

Look for concerts in the courtyard during several of the summer food truck nights, featuring local jazz, classical, and rock musicians. 

Blessing of the Pets

Each August, WPUMC welcomes your pets--whatever they are--appropriately controlled (leash, cage, carrier, etc.) to be blessed by Rev. Sandi. We ask that only animals who will do well in a public place, and with other animals, join us at the service. You are also invited to bring a picture of a pet.
