Worship Service 

Sunday Worship Service starts at 10:45 am, in the Sanctuary. During the service, the Chancel Choir sings anthems and leads the congregation in hymns and songs.  A children's message, the Scripture reading, and the sermon will be given. Baptisms and other special occasions may be scheduled periodically. Large print bulletins and handicapped seating are available. Children are welcome at the Worship Service. There are bags containing activity sheets and coloring pages in the Narthex for their use and enjoyment.  We also provide babysitting services during Sunday school and Worship Service.  

Holy Communion, also known as the Lord's Supper, or the Eucharist, is served the first Sunday of each month. In the United Methodist Church, you do not need to be a member to participate in this sacrament. Communion is open to all people who love Christ.  Holy Communion is served by "intinction."  The pastor will give you a piece of bread,  you will then dip it into the chalice.  After ingesting, you may wish to kneel at the prayer rail or return to your seat.  Those preferring Communion where seated will be served by a pastor.  If you do not wish to participate, simply remain seated. 

Through Baptism, we accept God's gifts through Jesus. There are three methods used for baptism by United Methodists, although sprinkling water on the head of the person being baptized is most common.

PENTECOST

The Season of Pentecost celebrates the work of the Holy Spirit in the church.  May 11th, the day of Pentecost in 2008, is observed as the birthday of the church, as recorded in the New Testament book of "Acts". 

This is a season marked by the "in-spiration" of God -- a time of enthusiastic worship and service, empowered by the Spirit of God moving among us, the children of the Lord.
