UPON ARRIVAL

Dress
Attire is casual / business casual.

Greeters / Ushers
Upon entering Emmanuel Community United Methodist Church, you will be warmly welcomed by volunteer Greeters and Ushers. They will happily escort you to coat racks, childcare, restrooms, or the sanctuary for worship.

Ushers are also able to provide large print hymnals and hearing assist devices. Please do not hesitate to ask for anything you need. Our volunteers and staff are here to help!

Coat Racks
Coat racks are available for your convenience inside any of the main entrances.

Restrooms
Restrooms are located just east of the sanctuary and north of Celebration Hall.

Nametags
Each member has a nametag to wear whenever they are in the building. Visitors are encouraged to use one of the temporary tags provided at our main entrance. This helps us identify you as a visitor to make you feel at home, and to get to know you better.


Childcare / Nursery School (Ages 0-3)
Children of all ages are welcome in church for the entire worship service. Do not hesitate to bring your children with you!

Childcare is available during the entire church service for infants and children ages 0-3 in the nursery and ‘Ark Park,’ located in the main church hallway. You are welcome to bring young children before worship begins or any time during the service. Pagers are provided to assist in contacting parents if a need arises during their time away from their children.

Emmanuel Community employs qualified, screened, professional childcare providers. Miss Ashley and Ms. Renee are phenomenal with the kids and provide a safe, calm, fun, structured environment.

Sunday School (Ages 4-18)
All children are invited to the front of the sanctuary for a special Children’s Message during the worship service. Those who wish are then invited to attend Sunday School for the remainder of the service.

Volunteer adult ‘Shepherds’ accompany children from the sanctuary to their appropriate classroom. For their safety, Sunday School teachers will not dismiss children after service until a parent or guardian picks them up from class.

Sunday School classes from Kindergarten through Middle School rotate rooms each week to provide a multi-sensory learning experience (including a movie theater, drama room, art room, kitchen, and more). A list of locations by date and age level can be found on the bulletin board in the hallway to the Northeast of the sanctuary. Ushers, staff and church members are happy to assist you!

Communion
Communion in the United Methodist Church is an open sacrament. Anyone and everyone is welcome to participate. Communion at ECUMC is served on the first Sunday and Wednesday of the month.

Communion is usually served at the front of the church at the communion rail or in front of the chancel for those who are able. Communion stewards also bring the elements to worshipers who are unable to go forward. Ushers will invite rows one at a time. Once the elements are received, you are invited to return to your seats for prayer and meditation.

Offering
Offering envelopes are located in the pew rack on the seat in front of you. General donations support church programs and the day-to-day functioning of the church. Offerings may also be earmarked for the Capital Fund (to pay off the mortgage), Missions, and other programs. Loose change offerings support a different, featured mission each month.
