Contemporary worship
The name for our contemporary service on Sundays at 9 am was inspired by Jesus' encounter with the Samaritan woman at the well (cf. John 4:1-42) . Like her, we learn about the living water of the gospel and go out to tell others. Here, we come casually dressed, sing contemporary worship songs led by our Praise Team, and we have a coffee bar we invite you to enjoy during the service.

general information
Our contemporary service is held in the fellowship hall, or "Stafford Hall." We stream the service so you are welcome to view it online, or to join us in person as well. We have bulletins for each service listing the order of worship to help everyone follow along. Casual dress and beverages are welcome.
MUSIC
During this service, we sing contemporary worship songs. Our Praise Team leads us, as well as our Worship leader, Lucy Stadler. Songs are projected so everyone can view the lyrics and they are set to tunes with drums, guitar, bass, keyboard and a team of vocalists.
CHILDREN's TIME
Every Sunday we share our faith with the children in a "children's sermon." This happens early in service to make sure wiggly ones can scoot on to the nursery, which is always open with a dedicated staff person during worship.
children in worship
Every Sunday in the back of Stafford Hall, you will find red drawstring 'Kid Kits' for worship. Inside each bag will be a children's bulletin, coloring pages, and crayons for kids to enjoy throughout the service. Can't find them - just ask an usher and they can point you in the right direction.
COMMUNIon
We partake in the holy sacrament of Communion on the first Sunday of the month. We offer gluten free bread options and grape juice only. We use hand sanitizer for all our servers just prior to the distribution of the elements. We share the bread and the cup by intinction, while also offering individual cups for those who need to abstain from the common cup.
BAPTISMS
On special occasions, with pastoral preparation and scheduling, we baptize old and young alike during worship. We use a font and typically sprinkle the water, following a liturgy, wherein the baptized becomes a member of the FUMCG family.
