Happening NOW
Here are some ways you can be involved at Haddonfield United Methodist this week.
Called: October Sermon Series
Begins Sunday, October 4
Ministry is for the called. People whom God has chosen for the vocation. You know, the whole burning bush, voice from heaven, blinding light stuff from the Bible. Right?
But did you know, we are all called to ministry? Yes. Every one of us. Called. Equipped. And sent into the world, to be God’s hands and feet.
But what about that burning bush story? It’s not as elegant as you may think. The Moses story shows us how God calls even those who may be flawed, failed, reluctant, rebellious, and lacking in charisma to set the oppressed free and give people hope.
Oh, and we’ll see how even you are Called! Join Us.
Mi Wha Lee Memorial Organ Recital
Friday, October 16 | 7pm | Sanctuary and Online

Called to Freedom: October Class
Join Pastor Yeeun Kim and Tayler Necoechea for a four-week Bible study on the Book of Exodus, offered alongside our Called: A Series on Moses sermon series. Together, we’ll explore how God hears the cries of the people, calls Moses, leads Israel toward freedom, and forms them into a new community. Each week will include Scripture, conversation, and reflection on what the story of Exodus still has to say about our faith and calling today. Classes meet on Wednesdays at 7pm in the Theater (Room 302) and on Zoom beginning October 7.
Begins Wednesday, October 7 | 7pm
The Chosen Season 2 Discussion Group
Begins Monday, October 19 | 7-8:30pm
Join us for an eight-week series as we watch and discuss Season 2 of The Chosen. This is a guided, discussion-based group—not a lecture—designed for honest questions and personal reflection. No prior Bible knowledge is required; all are welcome!
New Members Classes
Sundays, November 8 & 15 | 1-3pm
If you are interested in becoming a member at Haddonfield UMC, join us at one of our New Members classes! Class members will explore the ministry and vision of Haddonfield UMC, the history and theology of The United Methodist Church, and how they can live out their membership in the life of the church. Two sessions of the class will be held, but you only need to attend one class. The sessions are: Sunday, November 8 and 15, from 1-3pm in Sayre Pavilion. New members will be received in worship on Sunday, November 22. If you are unable to attend worship on November 22, Pastor Chris will receive you into membership on another Sunday during worship.

Join the Visitation Ministry Team
Sunday, October 11 at 12pm in Sayre Pavilion
Our Visitation Ministry is looking for caring people to help our church family feel remembered, supported, and connected. Team members may visit or check in with homebound members, those in long-term care, people who are lonely or grieving, and families raising children and youth. This fall, we are also beginning a new Young Family area within the Visitation Ministry to offer intentional care and connection for parents and families with children and youth.
The commitment is simple: usually one visit or one phone call each month, along with prayer and staying connected.
Visitation Team Training: Sunday, October 11 at 12pm in Sayre Pavilion

Faith Explorers: New Sunday School Option
Faith Explorers is a new Sunday School option in a welcoming space where children can explore and discover their faith in ways that work for them. Located in the Sensory Friendly Room (next to the Youth Room on the third floor), the option will be available during the 9am Modern Worship Service, and children are welcome to stay for the whole Sunday School hour or come and go as needed, offering an alternative to a traditional Sunday School classroom.
Using the Universal Design for Learning, along with tactile learning and a multi-sensory approach, the space provides opportunities for children to learn through hands-on activities, movement, creativity, conversation, and exploration. Faith Explorers is open to all children and may be especially meaningful for kids who benefit from flexible, hands-on ways of learning. Two teachers will be available to support children and help create an environment where every child can participate, explore, and grow in faith.
Check In: Register at the main KidCheck station on Sunday morning, and our team will direct your child to the room.
