Traditional Worship at First United Methodist
Our traditional services at 8:45 and 11 a.m. each Sunday incorporate most elements of traditional worship, including sung and spoken liturgy, the reading of scripture, congregational hymns, a choir-led anthem, a sermon and offering. Our ushers will offer you a printed order of service which will guide you through the service, lead you in the liturgy, direct you to pages in the hymnal and pew Bible, and show you when to sit or stand.
On the first Sunday of every month and on certain other designated occasions, we celebrate the service of Holy Communion. In accord with our liturgy, which states: “This is the Lord’s Table, and all are welcome”, we practice “open communion, meaning that one does not need to be a member of our congregation or even a Methodist in order to participate. We welcome all persons to attend and fully participate in all aspects of our worship service.
For generations families and individuals have come into our beautiful sanctuary to find hope, peace and guidance in God's presence. Our services lift up the God of every generation through historic liturgy and hymns of the faith.
