Celebrating:
Worship Services
Services
At West Chester United Methodist Church, we have several
worship experiences to meet the needs of today's worshipers.
You are invited to celebrate in any of the following
worship experiences:
Traditional - 9:00 AM
9 AM each Sunday we offer a service that builds on the
rich tradition of Christian worship and yet speaks to the present day
realities of our daily living. This worship service uses music and liturgy
from the Christian tradition. The service offers an adult choir which
sings weekly, a youth choir that sings twice a monthly, a children's choir
that sings once a month, and a bell choir that plays once a month.
Communion is celebrated the first Sunday of each month. Child care for
children up to 5 is offered during this service.
Contemporary - 10:30 AM
10:30 AM each Sunday a contemporary service using more
modern music and instruments blending the best of the tradition and more
recent forms of worship. Piano, guitar and drums pick up on the modern
rhythms of today's society. A blend of modern, gospel and world music
rhythms fill the Fiesta Center with praise. Weekly, a celebration music
team leads the worship and is joined by a youth and children's choir
monthly. Communion is celebrated the first Sunday of each month. Child
care and Sunday school are offered during this service.
Healing Services
At certain times during the year, Healing Services are
incorporated into the Sunday worship services. Individuals, or groups, may
also contact Rev. Brooks or Rev. Brubacher to request a special healing
service.
The United Methodist Book of Worship describes the purpose
of healing services well: "Spiritual healing is God's work of
offering persons balance, harmony, and wholeness of body, mind, spirit,
and relationships through confession, forgiveness, and reconciliation.
Through such healing, God works to bring about reconciliation between God
and humanity, among individuals and communities, within each person, and
between humanity and the rest of creation" (page 613, The United
Methodist Book of Worship).
Preaching Styles
Preaching at West Chester Church Pastors Truman Brooks and
Carolene Brubaker blend biblical teaching, storytelling and music that
touch the life issues faced by everyone. Bring a friend with you!
