Parking is available on the square and behind our building. There are also a few spaces alongside our building, with handicapped spaces closest to our glass atrium entrance (big, flat, glass-enclosed entrance) on the east side.  The atrium entrance is closest to our elevator; take it to the 1^st floor to access the sanctuary for worship or LL (Lower Level) to attend any potlucks/events we might be having downstairs!

• Worship bulletins are available on tables just outside of each inner entrance to the sanctuary. We invite you to take one so you can follow along with the worship service. 
• When there is an asterisk next to something in the bulletin or on the slides, that means we are invited to stand, if able, for the duration of that item.
• Bolded passages are usually responsive texts, often lead by a liturgist or the pastor as a call and response.

Communion is usually served on the first Sunday of the month and is open to everyone. You do not have to be a member here to take communion.   In the United Methodist Church, we serve grape juice rather than wine; this allows all to participate.  We also offer gluten-free bread that the pastor will indicate when he invites you forward to partake.

Children are a gift from God and are welcome in worship as you feel comfortable! Typically, Pastor Jim or Margie, our Director of Children’s Ministries, will offer a special Children’s Message part way through the service.  During the school year, children in Kindergarten – 4^th grades will be dismissed with Margie to attend Sunday School or “Children’s Church”, which will be held in Sunday School classrooms in the Education Wing.   Younger children can go with Ms. Helen, our Nursery Attendant, at that time – or for the entire length of the service if preferred—be sure to bring along their snacks or diaper bag that they may need while they’re there.  If you are new here, ask a greeter or usher to introduce you to Margie (or direct you to the nursery) before the service begins so you can connect and share any pertinent information about your child – especially any allergies or concerns.  Restless children who stay with you in worship may appreciate borrowing a children’s book or coloring a children’s packet during the service; both are available!   Ask a greeter or usher for children’s materials before worship begins, or check out the children’s book shelf, which is located next to the rocking chair in the back of the Sanctuary.  Click here for a welcome message from Margie Walker, our Director of Children’s Ministries.

Does your child sometimes need quiet space or a space away from others?  We’ve created a Sensory Room in case your child suddenly needs to leave worship, but so that you don’t have to pack up and leave the building entirely.  This space can also be used for breastfeeding mothers.  The Sensory Room is located on our second floor off of our elevator, just above the Circle Room.  A tv in the room will allow you to link into our 10am live YouTube broadcast during our 10am service also, if you choose.  Some fidget toys and bean bag chairs are available for use in this space as well.  (We do ask that you stay with any children brought to this room and do not leave them unattended as this is not a childproof space.)  We hope this space allows families peace of mind as they join us in worship with the possibility of needing to step out for a little while.  Welcome!

Park yourself where you can be comfortable for about an hour, but also set apart in a space where you can be prayerful and participatory with limited distractions.

• Bulletins are available for Sunday’s 10am service right here on our website homepage! These stay up for two weeks if you’re working that day or need to worship with us later on.  There is a current bulletin and previous bulletin tab to help you find the most recent bulletin or the one that is current.  Looking for an older bulletin?  Contact the church office and we can email it to you!
• When there is an asterisk next to something, that means we are invited to stand, if able, for the duration of that item. For those of viewing remotely, we invite you to adopt a posture of prayerful worship or of attention, however that makes sense to you.
• Bolded passages are usually responsive texts, often lead by a liturgist or the pastor as a call and response. We invite you to join with those as your remote situation allows!

Communion is usually served on the first Sunday of the month and is open to everyone. You do not have to be a member here to take communion or participate in the rituals we have.  And, you do not have to be here in person for your communion items to be blessed.  Jesus broke bread and served table wine – these were common household staples at that time.  The United Methodist Church serves bread and grape juice so as not to be a source of temptation.  When you are joining us remotely and communion is scheduled, we invite you to prepare common, simple household items and allow them to be blessed during your worship time with us today and thereby partake of the wonderful and humbling gift of the blood and body of our Savior, Jesus Christ, which was given freely – to ALL!  Your communion might look like bottled water and a cracker if you don’t have juice and bread – and that’s great!  Receive the gift of salvation from our Lord and Savior!

Children are a gift from God and are welcome in worship as you feel comfortable! Typically, Pastor Jim or Margie, our Director of Children’s Ministries, will offer a special Children’s Message part way through the service, and we invite you to have your children with you when you’re watching us remotely, too!   We also offer a children’s coloring packet for restless children; if this is something you’d like us to mail to you (in the US), please contact the church office and ask for the coloring packet to be mailed to you!
