Description:

The American Church in Paris sanctuary is open for prayer most Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays at 10h-14h (see schedule here). All visitors must remember to wear a mask and follow Covid protocols. The American Church in Paris -- Re-gathered and also Virtual During the Covid-19 pandemic, the American Church in Paris has been dedicated to remaining a vibrant community and to providing online resources for worship, learning, spiritual formation, and holistic health. Now in these days of “partial de-confinement” we are taking steps to re-open the church buildings for worship, schools and other community groups in a way that is safe, sustainable, and fair for all. Please continue to check our website for the latest news. We have begun re-gathering for Worship in the Sanctuary on Sundays at 11h. Capacity is limited and seating is reserved (register here) because of Covid-19 protocols. These services are different from those before the pandemic, but we hope are still honoring to God and inspiring to our congregation and our extended community. We will continue the Virtual Worship services for the foreseeable future. We are very much alive and have even seen growth through this time of physical distancing and sheltering at home. Whether you are one of the thousands of viewers from over 70 different countries who join us for online worship, or new to Paris and seeking a church family, we hope you will be patient until we can meet again! In the meantime, we continue to pursue our mission "to bear witness in word and deed to the love of God as revealed in Jesus Christ." God's grace and peace be with you! The Rev. Odette Lockwood-Stewart Interim Senior Pastor Odette was born in Stamford, Connecticut and raised in southern California. Ordained in the United Methodist Church, she pastored, founded, and redeveloped congregations and university ministries in Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay Area including UCLA, UC Berkeley, and San Diego State University. With a BA in Religious Studies from California State University, Northridge, she graduated summa cum laude from Boston University School of Theology with a Masters of Divinity. While a student she co-founded the Anna Howard Shaw Center, and was delegate to the World Council of Churches Consultation on Women in Theology in Cartigny, Switzerland. She taught seminarians in the practice of ministry as Faculty Director of Community Engaged Learning at the Pacific School of Religion, teaching immersion courses in Colombia, Washington D.C., and at the U.S. Mexico border, engaging Christian theology and the public square. Her writing includes devotionals, curricula, sermons and poetry, as well as articles on social religious history, prayer, and Christian formation. Grateful to serve with the ACP in this transitional season, “In Christ, our lives and our life together are shaped and reshaped by the Spirit. Every gift is needed. Christ removes barriers we place before the Lord’s Table or the altar of our hearts.” Odette and her husband of thirty-five years, the Rev. Jim Lockwood-Stewart, take delight and loving pride in their four grown children, and eight grandchildren, who live in California, Oklahoma, and Maryland. Rev. Jim is a retired United Methodist pastor and a bassoonist. For re-creation, Odette enjoys reading, writing, cinema, theater, studying languages, and she revels in being a flaneuse.
