IF YOU ARE NEW

WELCOME

Wherever you are on your journey of faith, you are welcome here. PSUMC is a family friendly growing congregation with small groups, service opportunities, and ongoing ministries.  You do not need to be a member of the congregation to participate in the life of the church.

​

The order of worship is emailed out each Saturday and distributed in church on Sunday. You can preview it here

​

  • Worship is blended in a hybrid model - many in the congregation and some of our worship leaders are on Zoom and you will see them on the screen in front. Responses and hymn lyrics are posted on the screen so it might be helpful to sit near the front.

 

  • Please lift an “Amen,” clap, and move as the Spirit leads you.

 

  • Following the Scripture readings, the reader will say, “Word of Life. Word of Love” and the people respond “Thanks be to God.”

 

  • On Sundays when Holy Communion is celebrated, you are invited to the front of the church to receive a piece of bread and dip it in the cup of grape juice. Gluten free is available. All are welcome at the Table of Grace. You do not need to be a member of this or any other faith community to receive the Sacrament.

 

  • The service is usually finished around 12:15 but if you need to leave early, feel free to do so.

  • Liturgy and readings are intentionally gender expansive.

  • Worship services are recorded from Zoom and posted online

  • Children are welcome in the sanctuary. They are invited forward during the children's message and then downstairs for Sunday School. (There generally is no Sunday School or children's message during school breaks.)

  • Young children are welcome in our nursery. All of our trained childcare staff have passed background checks.

  • Restrooms are downstairs through the back of the sanctuary

  • A lift is available if stairs are a challenge. Please ask a greeter for assistance.

  • After church, join us downstairs for a cup of coffee.

​

Please let us know if you are interested in learning more about baptism or becoming a member

​

The prayer that Jesus taught may be prayed in your heart language or tradition or following these words: Our Mother and our Father, who art in heaven hallowed be thy name.

 

 

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

 

Give us this day our daily bread. Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

 

For thine is the kingdom, and the power and the glory, forever. Amen.

​

Congregational Creed: Hand in hand, we the people of Park Slope United Methodist Church celebrate love in its infinite variety as being a gift from God. We affirm the sacred in every race, culture, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, class, and ability. Summoned by our faith in Jesus Christ, we commit ourselves to seek justice, heal brokenness, live in harmony with the earth, and cultivate wellness in body, mind, and spirit.
