Worship Schedule
Sunday Morning Worship (year-round)
Sunday service is at 10AM online and in-house.
We celebrate Holy Communion on the first Sunday of each month.
If mission and outreach are at the heart of our life, then worship is the heartbeat of our life together. Here at First United Methodist you will find a worship experience that is both traditional in format and relevant in content. We are an open, welcoming congregation eager to share and celebrate the joys of our faith with others.
Special Worship
Blessing of the Animals
Each year, on the first Sunday of October, we gather outside on the front lawn of the church to celebrate our "Blessing of the Animals" service which is open to anyone in the community. We begin the service at 1:00 pm and simply ask that you bring your pet-companion on a leash or in a carrier. All pets are welcome. We also include a time of remembrance for our beloved pets who are no long with us in this life but live on in our hearts and memories This "special event" for pet-owners is always a meaningful time of honoring these special creatures who bring us such joy and pleasure.
