Welcome Home
Vestavia Hills UMC is a church where families and individuals can find a number of places to learn and serve. We have many ministries geared toward families, the arts, and engaging the community. All of our ministries are designed to help make connections with others, and ultimately live out our life purpose, centered in Jesus Christ. So welcome home! We look forward to growing with you.
Hi I’m Bill Brunson, Senior Minister at Vestavia Methodist Church. Since 1952, we have engaged families in learning about God and God’s world, and I would like to invite you to join us, to find sense of purpose in life together. Our staff can help you plan your visit, by following the link below. And you can experience our worship services online so you can know what to expect. We hope to see you soon.
Our mission is to provide a community where everyone can experience a Christ-centered life of purpose.

Worrying is something nearly all of us struggle with. The good news is that we know a God who loves us, who is invested in our lives and who tells us there is no need to worry! So here are some ways that can help us quit worrying. ⠀

Our Fidget Mat ministry will be starting back soon. We have a great ministry of volunteers who make Fidget Mats at the church. There are several ways to get involved with this ministry.
Firstly, you can be a volunteer who makes Fidget Mats at the church. These mats are made up of common items sewn into placemats to safely stimulate and soothe people with Dementia, Alzheimer’s, PTSD, Severe Macular Degeneration, and Palliative Care. We provide these to nursing homes, the Veterans Administration, adult day care facilities, hospice agencies, and families caring for persons with Dementia, Parkinson’s, PTSD, or end of life issues. No prior sewing experience is necessary. Our next meeting is on Tuesday, August 24, from 10 am to 2 pm in the Fellowship Hall. Please come join us.
Secondly, we need supplies: placemats, ribbon, zippers, key chains, jeans pockets, small toys, game pieces, large buttons, beanie babies, infant socks, ties, belts, Pom-Poms, small jewelry bags, golf tees, patches, small crosses, Mardi Gras beads, etc. If you can supply some of these, please bring them to the church office.

Created For A Purpose has been amazing! This week we have had dozens of 3rd-8th grade girls participating in this ministry and learning they are a unique masterpiece created by God. What a week it's been! ⠀

It's difficult to resist the temptation to grumble. We grumble because so often we are all too aware of our unhappiness. But God provides for us something -- joy! And this joy sustains us in the midst of our experiences and it reminds us of the goodness of a God who is always with us and for us.

We don't know if you can tell from these pictures, but we had a REALLY fun time at Grand Camp. From singing songs and roasting marshmallows to hiking and swimming, this inter-generational weekend was an amazing experience for our grandparents to bond with their grandkids! What a weekend! If you are a boomer and older adult and you are looking for opportunities like Grand Camp, please contact Jim Frazier. ⠀
