Communications

  • There are three ways to stay up to date on MPUC news and events:

    1. Check out these links on our website:

    Calendar of Events

    Volunteer Opportunities

    2. Subscribe to the MPUC weekly email newsletter, the Here and Now. Reach out to the office to sign up.

    3. Read the weekly announcements that are distributed with worship bulletins for the Sunday worship services at 10 am.

    If receiving email, accessing the website, or attending in-person services are not possible for you, arrangements can be made to mail weekly communications to you. Please contact the church office to inquire. The phone number is 651-698-8871.

  • Please email the office to sign up.

  • First, check your promotions, junk, or spam folders to make sure emails from MPUC are not being filtered out of your primary inbox. If you discover they are not being filtered out by your email system, please email the office.

  • To unsubscribe from the Here & Now, scroll to the very bottom of the email, click on unsubscribe, and follow the prompts.

  • Articles must be submitted by the Thursday exactly a week prior to the Thursday you would like your article to appear. Articles should be emailed to: 4publication@macalester-plymouth.org

  • Submissions should be 150 words or less and should include clear updates, requests, or details. All submissions are evaluated and edited by our Communications Team, and your article may not appear in the Here and Now exactly as you wrote it.

  • The Sunday worship bulletin announcements are created by the Lead Minister and Office Administrator based on material received for the Here and Now. If you have a piece you want to be included only in the announcements and not the newsletter, please email the office.

  • Please reach out to the office and you will be connected with our Communications Specialist.

  • Lead Minister Rev. Adam Blons looks over the list of upcoming events and decides what to announce each week. Contact Adam in advance of Sunday if you would like an announcement made and he will do his best to accommodate you.

  • When a congregation member makes an announcement, we call this a Moment for Mission and Ministry. Contact Rev. Adam Blons about scheduling this.
