Though few pass by to see it, we are always updating the Word-of-the-Month table.  "Welcome" couldn't be a better fit for who we are. Enjoy

Work to be done will include, but not be limited to 

• Deep cleaning where necessary, for example scouring tabletops. 
• Moving all upholstered furniture and all folding tables to the sanctuary to be stored for the foreseeable future. 
• Yard work. 
• Cleaning/disinfecting bathrooms, door handles, etc. 
• Set up sanitizing stations. 
• Mark floors for chair placement in meeting rooms; mark 6’ intervals outside bathrooms (and other areas as determined necessary). 

We will take this process of re-opening slowly and purposefully, making decisions, taking action, readjusting and moving ahead as it is prudent. 

Please RSVP Linda Kelly at the church 651-291-1371 or trc@therecoverychurch.org. Your RSVP is necessary and appreciated as we will be limiting the total number to 10.

Thank you on behalf of the Trustees, Sandy Hart

The Recovery Church (Central Park United Methodist Church) is a Christian and reconciling community that is open to diverse concepts of spirituality accepting all who share a belief in the Christian values of trust, compassion, openness and service. The Recovery Church is neither a typical church nor a twelve-step program. Although we draw from both traditions, we seek to embody the spirit of God without creating boundaries for its expression.

The Recovery Church is located in St. Paul, Minnesota, is an easy and quick commute from Highways 94 and 35 and two blocks from a public transportation stop.

I will be retiring from The Recovery Church the end of July.  It has been my great pleasure to serve in this capacity and you should all know that my life has been deeply enriched by each and every one that
I have come in contact with here at the church. 

In the meantime, if you know of someone who may be interested and qualified to work as the office manager of our church, send them our way by having them contact us at trc@therecoverychurch.org. Arlene Reed, the chair of our Staff Parish Relations Committee along with the rest of the SPRC Committee will begin accepting applications soon.

Many Thanks,
​Linda Kelly
