WORSHIP AND MUSIC

Worship:

We offer a variety of settings for worship. Our Saturday evening service is an informal 45 minute service at 6:00 PM each Saturday. It is the only Protestant service offered on Saturdays in our area. On Sundays, we have worship services at 8:30 and 11:00 AM .

Our sanctuary is handicap accessible from Warren Street and we have handicap accessible restrooms on the sanctuary level. We also offer hearing devices, large-print bulletins, large-print hymnals and activity sheets for children attending worship. Child Care is also provided for Sunday Services.

Music:

We also have an excellent music program for children, youth and adults including both vocal and bell groups. Our organist, Al Purdy adds greatly to our worship both at the Aeolian-Skinner pipe organ and the piano.

Music is an integral part of the worship experience at the Tunkhannock United Methodist Church. Our vision for the music program of this church is to provide the opportunity for meaningful and enriching musical expressions of worship for people of all ages.

Our choirs include the following:
