Our Traditional Worship Services are held in the Sanctuary and follow a
traditional United Methodist liturgy. The sermons are presented by our
Senior and Assistant Ministers. The Sanctuary Choir provides the music

by our Hand Bell Choir, as well as, different brass and woodwind ensembles.

Special Worship Services
Special Worship Services are offered on Ash Wednesday, Maundy Thursday,
Good Friday, Easter Sunday, and Christmas Eve. Children's Church is provided

for 5th graders and younger during the 9:30 a.m. Traditional Worship Service.
The children are invited to worship for approximately the first 15 minutes with
their families to experience traditional worship until the Senior Minister announces
it is time to leave. Our EPIC Puppet Team provides meaningful biblical object
lessons and inspirational scripture through song and interactive conversations
between the children and all of their favorite puppet friends.

The puppets do not perform on the1st Sunday of each month due to the
celebration of Holy Communion. Missions are also taught during Children's
Church. An offering is collected each week and sent to the Homeless
Orphanage Outreach, Inc. (HOOI) and distributed among four orphanages
in the Dominican Republic, and to purchase animals for families in need
through Heifer International. The service closes with prayers and a special
benediction.

Faith sees the Invisible, Believes the Incredible,
Receives the Impossible!

Holy Communion
Holy Communion is served on the 1st Sunday of each month at all our Worship
Services, as well as, on holidays and other special occasions. The United
Methodist Church extends an open invitation to all individuals to partake in
Holy Communion who intend to lead a Christian life.
