Blue Christmas Worship
Saturday, December 20 at 5:00PM
Everyone is invited to the Blue Christmas Service on Saturday, December 20 at 5:00PM in the Sanctuary. Not everyone is up and cheery for the Christmas holidays. Dealing with the death of a loved one, facing life after divorce or separation, coping with the loss of a job, living with cancer or some other disease that puts a question mark over the future, or a number of other human situations make parties and joviality painful for many people. We invite you to listen, pray, and sing. Come and hear the message of healing and hope that our Christmas story provides. Everyone is welcome.

communion
Communion is served once a month. All are invited to receive Communion; you do not need to be United Methodist or a member of this congregation, and there is no age requirement. It is the Lord's Supper, not ours, and it is Christ who invites you. Typically, small pieces of bread are broken from a common loaf, dipped in a cup, and given to those partaking in Communion. We are sensitive to the needs of our congregation; we use grape juice instead of wine, and have gluten-free elements available.
