During the summer months there will be two worship services, 8:30 and 10:00 a.m.  Cribbery will be available for both services.  Youth Sunday Schools will be at 10:00 a.m.  Children ages 2 through Kindergarten will meet in Room 114 for the entire worship time.  Children in grades 1 - 5 will begin the hour in the worship service with their parents and then be dismissed to their class.  Sunday School for High School students, led by John Knarr, will continue through the summer.

We will return to the regular Sunday Worship schedule on Sunday, September 7th.

Sunday Worship Services

Each of our three Sunday morning services of worship offers unique features:

The 8:00am service originated with a group of lay men and women who created a worship setting that provides an informal opportunity for participants to both witness to their faith and share in the context of prayer the joys and concerns of life.  The pastor writes the worship bulletin and preaches from the weekly scriptural texts; special music is provided by volunteer pianists, our church organist, and vocal groups and individuals.  A lay volunteer serves as liturgist.

The 9:15am service is enthusiastically family-oriented with a variety of music provided by our children's, youth, contemporary and adult choirs.  In addition to the celebration of Baptism and the Lord's Supper, we often will highlight leadership from our Youth Ministry, Mission, Puppet Ministry, Disciple Bible Study, Scouts, Children's Christian Education and various special musical presentations.   All services of worship are coordinated and written by the pastors. 

The 11:00am service follows the same liturgy as the 9:15am service.  All services include the active participation of the laity.  Music is provided by the Sanctuary Choir.

      Sunday Morning Fellowship

Enjoy Christian fellowship, coffee, tea and donuts each Sunday between services in Fellowship Hall.

Seasonal Celebration of Worship

Celebrations of worship on Christmas Eve, Ash Wednesday, Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Thanksgiving Day provide additional opportunities to gather together and remember God's grace.   An Easter Sunrise Service in our Memorial Garden and a series of Wednesday evening Lenten and Advent classes with a special focus are also offered each year.

Nursery Care

Nursery Care is provided for the 9:15am & 11:00am services as well as for special services during the Advent Christmas and Lenten Easter season. For more information on our Nursery Care click here

SUNDAY school

Sunday School is provided for children during the 9:15am & 11:00am services.  Sunday School for adults is provided during the 8:00am and 9:15am services.  For more information about our Sunday Schools click here

Worship Hospitality

Greeters are available to welcome and assist everyone as we gather and share in the celebration of worship.

Ushers are prepared to assist with special seating needs and to provide electronic hearing devices and large print hymnals and bulletins upon request.  Ushers provide additional assistance during the worship services and oversee the video taping of the weekly service.

 At our Welcome Center, a state-of-the-art video of the church, as well as people staffing our welcome center, provide program information and assistance in locating classrooms.

Our  Altar Guild and Communion Servers Guild are composed of lay men and women who receive instruction as to these important worship-related services from the Pastors and then they are assigned to their various responsibilities.

Between services enjoy some coffee, tee and donuts as we gather for fellowship in our Fellowship Hall

Eucharist Celebration

As United Methodist Christians, we believe in a nurturing Triune God who desires a deep, loving and ongoing relationship with His children.  The Eucharist (also called "The Lord's Supper" and "Holy Communion") is the visible sign of the baptized Christian's covenant with God as initiated and revealed through Christ Jesus.

All (of any age) are invited to the Lord's Table; the sacrament of Holy Communion is offered the first Sunday of every month as well as during other seasonal celebrations.
