Thank you for visiting whether via the Internet or in person. You are always welcome! The Methodist church has many doors through which people share in serving God and others. We hope you discover something here to encourage you on your spiritual journey. Together we can open hearts, open minds, and open doors The People of Gray United Methodist Church. Our Worship Services- At 8:45 and at 10:45 am are neither exclusively "traditional" or "contemporary." We seek to join together the people of God, in all their diversity, using varying musical styles and other elements, in a seamless tapestry that honors God and provides a meaningful worship experience for all. The 8:45 service is a smaller, more intimate setting than the 10:45 service. About once a month and on various special occasions, we celebrate Holy Communion. Any member or visitor who confesses Jesus Christ as Lord is welcome to participate. Sunday School- Is at 9:45 am and is available for Children, Youth, and Adults. No need to register, just join in. One of our Greeters will be glad to help you find a class to visit. What About Children- Children are always welcome at our worship services, however, for your convenience, we do provide two nurseries, one for birth to 2 yr. old and the other for 3 & 4 yr. olds. In addition, on most Sunday mornings, children ages 3 through grade 3, have the opportunity to leave part way through the service for the Chapel to attend Children’s Church, a worship time specifically tailored for children. Where Do I Park- There are parking spaces designated for visitors and for those with disabilities marked in the parking lot directly in front of the main sanctuary (Chapel St,) and immediately behind the campus. The visitor spaces in the back parking lot are the most convenient for those planning to take their children to the nurseries. Dress- There is no specified dress code. You will see everything from jeans to suits and dresses, so dress however you will be comfortable. What Will it Be Like When You Enter- Someone will greet you at the door and offer you a copy of the church bulletin which gives instructions for worship and details about church activities. Most worship services last about 60 minutes or a little longer when we serve communion. If you need to leave during the service, just slip out discreetly. Seating- Take any vacant seat you like or our ushers will be glad to assist you. They can direct you to restrooms or other facilities and provide special devices for you if you have hearing impairment. Song Books and Bibles- These are in the pocket of the seat in front of you. The words for the most of the songs and other worship elements will be either in the bulletin or on the screen. When to Sit or Stand- If you are not sure, just follow everyone else or remain seated throughout the service. Don't feel obligated to join in all of the group responses or songs, but feel free to. There is no right or wrong way. Small Gift for First-Time Visitors- We don't want to embarrass you, so we will give you the opportunity to raise your hand and receive the gift or just to pick one up on your way out. Offerings- As a visitor, we don't expect you to finance the church. Don't feel embarrassed to pass the plate along without contributing, but you are welcome to contribute if you wish. Many members mail in their contributions or give them at different times, so you won't be the only one passing the plate. Attendance Register- Along with our members, please take a moment to sign the Attendance Register that will be passed. |
