What to Expect

We Welcome All

Before entering the church you will be greeted by one of our Parking Lot greeters.  As you enter the church, you will see a welcome desk with one of our friendly church members.   They are there to answer any questions you may have and direct you to where you need to go.   You will also be greeted and provided with a bulletin upon entering the sanctuary.  Please let an usher know if you have special seating needs such as a wheelchair or a hearing enhancement device.   Large print hymnals and bulletins are also available.   We hope you will feel welcome and comfortable.
Attire

Some people come dressed casually and others are in their Sunday best. Whichever way you choose, we encourage you to  dress the way that feels most appropriate to you.  We believe that God cares more about what is in our hearts than how we are dressed.

Accessibility

Yes.  There is handicapped parking and a ramps for easy access to the building.  In the sanctuary there are designated areas within the pews for wheelchairs.   Please let an usher know if you have special seating needs such as a wheelchair or a hearing enhancement device.   Large print hymnals and bulletins are also available.

Childcare

Nursery care is available during our Sunday worship service beginning at 9:30 am .  From September – June, Sunday School programs are offered on Sundays from 11:00 am – 12:00 pm for all ages from first grade children through retirement age adults.

Sunday Morning Service
Ours are a traditional service which begins at 9:30 am and lasts about an hour.  You can expect a musical call to worship, announcements, hymns, a welcoming, prayer, and an inspirational message from Rev. Eric Stone.  There is no Sunday evening service.
Communion
Communion is generally provided on the first Sunday of the month.     The table of Holy Communion is Christ’s table. The table is open to anyone who seeks to respond to Christ’s love and to lead a new life of peace and love, as the invitation to the table says.  See more about United Methodist Commuion at:  http://www.umc.org/what-we-believe/faqs-communion

After each worship service, we invite you to stick around to meet the Pastor, strike up a conversation, and make some new friends!
