WORSHIP
Worship begins at 10:45 each Sunday morning and typically lasts about 45 minutes. We also have a live online congregation. Church@Home can be found on our Facebook page (Wellsville United Methodist Church). Sunday morning worship leans toward a more traditional style but in a relaxed atmosphere. Casual dress is considered appropriate. Traditional as well as some contemporary music is sung.
THE WELLSVILLE UNITED METHODIST CHOIR
The WUMC Choir sings a variety of music, preforming periodically. Choir members may choose to sit with their family on those Sundays that the choir does not perform, or to sit with other choir members in the choir loft to help lead the congregation in singing. Everyone is invited to join. The only requirement is that you love to sing.
HOLY COMMUNION AND BAPTISM
Holy Communion is offered every first Sunday of the month, every Sunday in the Advent, Lenten and Easter seasons, as well as on certain special Sundays such as Trinity, Transfiguration and Christ the King Sundays. In the United Methodist Church, we practice Open Communion. This simply means that all who are in love and fellowship with their neighbor and accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior are welcome at our table.
United Methodists practice 3 methods of baptism, sprinkling, pouring and immersion. We baptize infants, children, youth and adults. We believe that God is the primary actor both in baptism and communion and that God bestows real grace upon the individual receiving the sacraments. For this reason, we do not withhold either sacrament from children; nor do we re-baptize individuals, as God's grace cannot be revoked. We thus accept any Christian baptism as valid. We do provide opportunities for persons to renew their baptismal vows. Individuals baptized in infancy or early childhood must make a public profession of faith as youth or adults before they can enter into full membership in the congregation.
