Worship

Sunday Worship Celebration begins at 9:30 each Sunday morning.

We are a “come as you are” kind of congregation. Some women wear dresses, some pants. Some men wear suits and ties, some jeans and a tee shirt. During the summer, many folks dress in shorts. The bottom line is: We would rather see you dressed as you feel comfortable than not at all!

Children are always welcome in worship and are invited to come forward during “Time with Children and Youth,” following which they may attend Sunday School. If they choose not to attend Sunday School, that’s okay, too.

Coffee fellowship (with some sweet goodies!) on the Patio follows worship each week.

Communion

Communion is offered during the regular worship service on the first Sunday of every month and at some other “non-Sunday” worship services.

In the United Methodist tradition, Communion, (also called the Lord’s Supper or the Eucharist) is an open sacrament, and we at Mesa Verde UMC practice an “open table.” Communion participants are not required to be members of this or any other United Methodist Church. They need not even be baptized Christians. We believe that this meal symbolizes God’s family gathered around God’s table, that we are all children of God, and, therefore, all are welcome.

Further, we use bread and grape juice (not wine) so that if alcohol is an issue in anyone’s life, it need not prevent them from receiving communion.

Mission Bucks for March

March Mission Bucks will go to the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) Sunday.  The donations given during March are used for UMCOR administrative costs. This approach allows one-hundred percent of the donations given during the remainder of the year to go directly to disaster relief projects.
