WORSHIP FAQ'S

Who is Welcome?
You!  Everyone is welcome at St. Paul UCC. 
​No matter where you are on your faith journey, you are welcome here!
Where do I park?
Parking is available in two parking lots across from the church on St. Paul Street. 
Additional parking, including handicapped accessible parking with easy access to the elevator,
​is located in the back parking lot off of Bottom Avenue. 
What Should I wear?

​What can I expect at worship?
 Please check out the livestream service to get a feel for it.  Once arriving at the service,
​you will receive a bulletin with the order of the service and other information. 
If you have any questions, please ask folks sitting next to you.  They will be glad to help.
​Do I have to be a member of the church to take part in communion?
We share communion on the first Sunday of the month.
All who accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior are welcome to receive communion.
​Additionally, we welcome children​  to the celebration of communion at the discretion of their parents.
Is there a fellowship time?
We have a social time in our Fellowship Hall at 10:30 a.m. following Worship. 
​We typically serve coffee and donuts and sometime a brunch for special occasions.
What is there for Children?
We believe children are an important part of our worship.
Sunday School classes are offered to those age 3 through high school.
We also involve children in a special Children's Message near the beginning of the service.
Children ​are then guided to their respective classrooms for Sunday School. 
​If desired, nursery care is available for newborns through 2 years old.
