First Time Visit Youth Preschool

Second Service

11 AM Worship

Our 11:00 a.m. service is a contemporary, modern worship. Dave Roberts - our Modern Worship Leader, the band and candle tables are part of this lively worship. It is very relaxed with a positive, upbeat feel. Although both the 9:30 and 11:00 a.m. services have the same sermon, each offers a distinct and different type of music (more on the music of our 11:00 service, below).

Children are definitely welcome with age appropriate Sunday School classes offered. Youth remain in worship during this service and have the opportunity for Bible Study during the 9:30 a.m. service. A nursery is also available.

Once a mmonth we have our Communion service. All are welcome to come forward to share in this very special meal in which we actively are reminded how much God loves us.

More information on our services can be found on our First Time Visitors page.

More About the Music -The SMUMC Band

Our SMUMC Band is a worship band, not a "praise band". Although many come to worship to praise God in song, others come to look, to question, and even to express anger and confusion with this God of Love. Praise is an important expression towards God, but worship encompasses all of the emotions that we bring before God.

Most of our music is participatory. Worship is not a spectator sport!! Our main purpose is to lead the congregation in singing, not just to perform some cool songs. It is our desire that the music we sing together connects the worshiping community to God in a unique way.

• When I Search
• Because of Your Love

This Week at SMUMC

This Wednesday we will have an Ash Wednesday service at 7 pm. Ashes are a sign of repentance and mourning. The Ashes traditionally are from Palm Sunday the year before and serve as a reminder that the joy of Palm Sunday can quickly turn to the betrayal and grief of the cross. The Ashes also remind us of the brevity of life. Let us begin the season of Lent with a clear focus on the gift of life and the correct use of that gift.
