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.
