SUNDAY MORNING WORSHIP
WHAT IS THE SUNDAY MORNING WORSHIP SERVICE LIKE?
Our service includes prayer, liturgy, scripture reading, a message, and music. You can join us either in-person or online.
We include a mix of traditional hymns and praise songs. Our choir sings most Sundays. Occasionally, guest instrumentalists also play during the worship service.
On the first Sunday of every month during August – May, we enjoy a churchwide fellowship breakfast before worship sponsored by the Men’s Group. During the summer, we have a cafe style worship with breakfast every Sunday! The breakfast begins at 10:30am in the sanctuary which also doubles as our fellowship space.
We also serve Holy Communion the first Sunday of the month. We serve communion by intinction which means that the pastor or lay server will hand you a piece of bread to be dipped in a common cup. Individually packaged wafer and juice sets are also available for those who prefer to not receive communion by intinction. Gluten free bread is provided for those with gluten sensitivities.
As far as dress is concerned, come to worship dressed in whatever makes you comfortable. You will see everything from business casual to jeans and a t-shirt.
FOR THE CHILDREN
Brooks UMC is happy to welcome children into our Worship Services. In the sanctuary, we have a designated space called the “Prayground”. During Pastor Lesley’s sermon, children are invited to the Prayground to participate with a Children’s Leader in some fun, hands on arts and crafts or other activities which are related to the worship theme of the day. We also have some fidget busters such as play dough, pop it toys, coloring sheets, and other items to help with the worship wiggles. In a culture where age separation is prevalent, encouraging all ages to worship together is a way to reflect the Kingdom of God and allows children the opportunity to be fully engaged in the church community. We believe that families worshiping together” and “all generations worshiping together” are essential for Christian faith formation.
CURRENT SERMON SERIES
At the Feet of Jesus
Throughout the Gospels, people found themselves at Jesus’ feet — in moments of grace, sorrow, gratitude, and deep need. And every time, they were changed.
This series is an invitation to pause, listen, reach out, encounter and worship the risen Christ.
We will also welcome special guest worship leader, Arthur Danzy, on April 27th who will help lead us in worship as we kick off this new series.
You won’t want to miss this wonderful time of praise and reflection as we come together at the feet of Jesus.
