HARVEY MEMORIAL UMC

What to expect when you worship with us

Our morning service is in English and begins at 10:30 am. When you arrive, you will be greeted at the door (different greeters each week) and an usher will give you Sunday's Bulletin. Please dress comfortably. You will see anything from suits to jeans - don't be afraid to kick your shoes off and stay a while. Children and infants are welcome at our service (a changing table is available in the nursery).

On the first Sunday of every month we will celebrate Holy Communion. All are welcome at God's table. Coffee hour follows Communion Service to give everyone a chance to chat and catch up on things. Also, for those who wish to participate, we offer laying on of hands and anointing with oil for healing at every service.

The music is provided by the Grayce Choir accompanied by piano and our 21 rank Kilgen organ, and also (on select Sundays) Harvey's Bell Choir. The music style is eclectic. We sing and ring traditional and classical as well as contemporary and praise songs.

The worship style centers on the crucified and risen Christ. Hymns are sung, there is a responsive reading, a time of joys and concerns and, of course, the passing of the peace. Sermons last about fifteen minutes and are delivered over a PA system. The sermons are recorded and posted on the church website.
