5th Sunday Worship

When a month has five Sundays, we come together for a combined worship service at 10:00 AM.

This special service blends elements from both our Traditional and Contemporary styles, giving us a chance to worship as one church family.

  • One service only – 10:00 AM
  • No Sunday School that day
  • All ages welcome

It’s a time of unity, music, and shared celebration—everyone is invited!

Questions & Answers

Here are some answers to common questions.

Parking and rear entrance to church are available behind the church.  There is an overflow lot across the road on Germain St.  Handicap spaces are closest to the rear entrance.

We partake in the Sacrament of Communion on the first Sunday of each month as well as at other special services throughout the year (Christmas, Easter, etc.)  United Methodists share an ‘open table’ which means that all who want to have a relationship with Jesus Christ are welcome to partake of Communion in our church.

Communion is currently offered in several ways:

  • By intinction (dipping the bread into the common cup of juice)
  • By receiving the bread and taking an individual, pre-poured cup of juice

Typical church wear will most likely be seen at the 8:30 service, however we hope clothing doesn’t keep you from worshiping with us.

At our 11:00 service you will find more casual dress.

Currently, there is no nursery or Children’s Church available at either service.  However, our 11:00 service is very family-friendly.  Children are welcome to attend and we have a Children's Corner where they kids can play in the same room we worship in.
