What to wear? Whatever is most comfortable for you. This is a pretty casual church clothing-wise, so feel free to discard the tie and high heels. Jeans, flip-flops and cut-off's are fine. We're not concerned about how you dress here. Really. | What happens when you first walk in? Someone will greet you at the door and will show you where things are. Someone else will give you a worship bulletin and a list of announcements so you'll know everything that is going on. There is also coffee available for those who need a cup to get going. | Where should you sit? Where ever you want. If you take someone's seat, that person will just move somewhere else. No big deal | How does the service begin? At the beginning of each service, there is a short greeting, a time to register your attendance, and then the music begins as a way to get our hearts and minds ready for to hear God more fully. In a few minutes, you will be invited to stand for the Call to Worship. You'll read the bold type in the bulletin. The bulletin is easy to read and follow, plus all the words are projected on the screen at the 11:00 service. | Where are the restrooms? To the left of the main entrance hall. There are also restrooms in every children's classroom and in the nursery. | What is "First Sunday" Lunch? That is a wonderful potluck meal when the various superb cooks in the church all bring something delicious to eat. Everyone is welcome to stay. The children love it--what a selection of desserts! It's a relaxed time for conversation and a ton of fun. Happens on the first Sunday of each month, and that is also when we celebrate Holy Communion. | What is Holy Communion? Also known as the Eucharist, or the Lord's Table, it is a time when we experience over again of the core of the Good News: Jesus has come, given himself up, went to the cross for us, and then found life again in the resurrection. It reminds us beautifully of the love of God for us. You will be invited to come as you wish to front of the church. One person will give you a piece of bread. Another will offer a cup with grape juice, and you dip the bread into the cup and then ingest it. If you can't come forward, a server can bring the communion elements to you. If you choose not to participate, that is also fine. There is no pressure. You do not need to be a member of this church or a United Methodist to participate. | How do you join the church?
