Sunday Morning Worship
Sunday morning is primarily a traditional worship service, with a blend
of contemporary music, drama, and reading. You'll find songs (a mix of
older and newer music), liturgy, preaching, a children's message,
offering. This service is about one hour long. Our worship services
occasionally include special music, drama, mission moments, baptisms,
and Holy Communion.
Worship is a celebration of the full body of Christ, praising God and
learning and growing in faith together. At St. Paul's we like to have
many participants in our worship services. Our worship committee meets
at least four times a year to plan worship content and services for
each church season. Our agendas cover content of worship, communion,
flowers, special music, lectors, and ushers.
Special Services
We like to celebrate the full Christian calendar at St. Paul's and so
throughout the year we have many special services. Some of the services
include Christmas Eve, Ash Wednesday, Holy Week, Good Friday, Holy
Saturday Prayer Vigil, and Easter sunrise service.
Christian Education
Christian Education for all ages is a strong focus at St. Paul's. We
have an education program for ages two through adult. Each group
focuses on the scriptures and is presented in a way that allows for
individuals to learn their own way. We have programs designed for all
learning levels: Early Education; Middle Education; Jr High Education;
Sr High Education; Adult Education; United Methodist Youth.
