Join us for our first Wide Circle Worship of the Fall! Wide Circle Worship is a worship experience which intentionally promotes active engagement of the congregation. This includes physical movement, inclusion of various audio/visual learning styles, and deliberate interaction between leadership and the congregation. 


Service leadership and participation will include a wide range of ages/abilities, with special focus on children. Jubilee and Youth Choirs will be singing during the service. We will celebrate our faith tradition by making worship feel relevant, accessible and inclusive. 


Wide Circle Worship will take place on October 2 at 10:30 a.m.

Third Grade Bibles


During the 10:30 a.m. worship service on Sunday, September 25, there will be a special time for third graders to receive their Bibles. This Bible is a symbol of the church's love and support for your children. 


Please join us during this service to receive your Bible or celebrate others as they receive theirs. 

Celebration Community

When: Thursday, September 29 at 5:45 p.m.

Where: Under the tent or in the Gathering Spot (weather dependent)

What: Join other families for a time of music and faith formation as we read and discuss the story of Daving playing music (1 Samuel 16:14-23; pages 88 and 89 in Celebrate Wonder Bible).  


Bring your dinner and stay to socialize with others while you eat afterwards!

Sunday School


This is a time of spiritual formation and faith exploration for your children. Each week includes a Bible story with related "wonder" questions for deeper exploration of themes discussed. 


Sunday school begins at 9:30 a.m. each Sunday. 

Jubilee Choir


Jubilee Choir is for children in 2nd through 5th grade. This choir builds on the music and worship leadership skills developed in Cherub Choir. Choristers will sing in worship about once a month and provide music on special holy days as well. The Jubilee Choir season ends each year with a full-production musical.


If your child is interested in participating, but was unable to join the first rehearsal, please reach out to Rebecca, rdyck@universityumc.church.
