Sunday Morning Worship

Sunday morning services at The United Church are a favorite time for gathering as a community to celebrate, worship, and learn through music, readings, prayers, and sermons. We celebrate the highlights of the church year, including Advent, Christmas Eve, Lent, Good Friday, and Easter. During ordinary time, we focus on a variety of topics, ranging from social justice to spiritual growth to dealing with the issues of daily life.

 

8:15 a.m. Informal Worship

We offer a relaxed service in the fellowship hall of our education building for those who prefer a less-structured approach to worship. Feel free to bring a cup of coffee to this service and choose your favorite hymns to sing!

 

10:00 a.m. Traditional Worship

Our traditional service, complete with candles, choirs, and a children’s sermon, is an opportunity to worship with others in an uplifting traditional setting. Enjoy a large variety of music from our our organ, grand piano, and chancel choir.

 

*We celebrate table fellowship (communion) on the first Sunday of each month in both of our services. We believe that table fellowship should reflect God’s beloved community, therefore, all are invited to participate.
