The Blue Mass, held in conjunction with National Police Week, is celebrated annually, for members of all faiths, throughout the United States. It brings together members of law enforcement, firefighters, correctional officers, 911 operators and EMS personnel. The service honors those who have died in the line of duty and those currently serving as first responders. The Mass is also an opportunity for the local community to show gratitude to first responders and their families.

This year's Blue Mass will be celebrated on Wednesday, September 29th at the Cathedral of St. Ignatius Loyola in Palm Beach Gardens by the Most Reverend Gerald M. Barbarito, Bishop of Palm Beach County.

Law enforcement officers of all faiths will gather with family and friends at 8:30 a.m. and march into the Cathedral for the service. Light refreshments will follow in the Parish Hall.

Come join the members of the Juno Beach Police Department, and of numerous other Palm Beach County Law Enforcement and first responder agencies, to honor their past and ongoing service to the community.

September 29, 2021 @ 8:30 AM - we hope to see you there!

Around the globe, countless gifted and qualified people face financial obstacles that hinder them from preparing for the vocation God has given them, especially youth and young adults. For ethnic students who will be the first generation in their families to attend college, or for those people of color who haven’t historically had access to resources that make higher education possible, the road toward education has often been unwieldy.

What would it look like if the church today imitated Jesus’ affirmation of the full dignity and God-given potential of all women and men—especially those who’ve historically been assigned to the world’s margins? On World Communion Sunday your giving helps to provide scholarships for national and international graduate students whom God has gifted to learn and to serve.

Historically, the Church has confessed a belief in the "communion of the saints," which includes not only all living believers, but also all who have gone before us. When we celebrate Holy Communion, we experience the communion of saints, feasting with believers past, present and future. The author of Hebrews 12 reminds us that these saints, a “great cloud of witnesses,” surrounds us and cheers us on.

On All Saints Day, United Methodists publicly remember and honor those who have passed away. Celebrated on the first Sunday in November, many congregations light candles, ring bells of remembrance, and call the names of those lost in the previous year as a way of honoring the impact their lives have had on us. 

Join us Sunday, November 7th, as we remember and honor our saints - online at Home Worship or in-person in the Sanctuary at Oceanview UM Church.
