Worship at NUMC
Worship is the central function of a church.
It provides an opportunity for people to gather and share their love and devotion to God. This is expressed in a variety of activities within the context of the worship setting. At NUMC we offer several opportunities for people to worship, and each has a different style and feeling. Many people attend one style exclusively, while others attend different worship events as the schedule or mood suits them best.
Sunday Morning Worship
Sundays at 10:00 am
This is our largest attended event each week. The clergy and choir wear robes, and the congregation dresses a bit more formally. There are several traditional musical elements: the Prelude and Postlude are performed on the organ, the Introit, Anthem, and Offertory are sung by the Chancel Choir, and the congregation sings traditional hymns from the hymnal which are also projected on the video screen.
Jazz Vespers
2nd Sundays at 6:00 pm
Lanny and Yvette Hartley have brought some of the best jazz musicians in the industry to perform each month. Everyone is welcome to come and enjoy an evening of extraordinary jazz.
Music
Music is a very integral part of our worship, our celebrations and our lives. Come and make a joyful noise!
