Thank you so much for finding us on the web. Coming into a new church can be hard so we want you to know some of what to expect when you enter our faith community.First, know that you are very welcome. We are a church that is truly open to all expression of being.Please read the welcome by Pastor Debra to hear how she welcomes all of God’s children to Chatfield UMC.
COME AS YOU ARE
You will notice all sorts of dress when you enter the worship space. We don’t care what you wear. Really, we don’t. You may be coming from work or just trying to get a start on your day. We are here to focus on God’s work in our lives not what anyone looks like.
CHILDREN ARE WELCOME, TRULY
On the other Sundays of the month children are invited to attend Sunday School. However, this is not a requirement. Infants are always welcome in this church. We love to hear their little noises. If you would like to give your child the space to play or be a little louder, a child friendly room is located across the hallway from the worship space. You can participate in the worship while your child plays and does what children do.
WORSHIP
When you come to worship on Sunday morning you will notice that the Praise Team begins singing at 9:30. Pastor Debra will make her way to the front during this opening singing. So don’t be alarmed if you are a little late. Also, don’t feel as if you have to join in singing. These opening songs are a way for us to let go of the world ‘outside’ as we center our focus on the God who is present.
COMMUNION: EVERYONE IS WELCOME, TRULY
If you come on the 1st Sunday of the month, children will be in the
worship service. Every age is always welcome to worship, but on the
first Sunday we worship together as an intergenerational church.
This
is the Sunday we celebrate the Sacrament of Holy Communion. In the
United Methodist Church EVERYONE is ALWAYS welcome to the table.
EVERYONE! We even serve only gluten free bread and unfermented grape
juice so that everyone can participate without concern for food
allergies or sensitivity to alcohol.
We serve communion by
intinction, which means that you will receive a piece of bread from
Pastor Debra which you will dip into a cup of grape juice offered to you
by the communion servers. If you need communion in your seat, just let
an usher know. They will make sure Pastor Debra or a communion server
will serve you where you are.
If you ever have questions or concerns, we are always willing to hear and respond.
Please contact Pastor Debra at the information provided or speak with an usher.
We
want you to have a worship experience that gives you the space to grow
in your faith as you become more and more the person God created you to
be.
Come Worship With Us!
