Smithville United Church Our Ministry Sunday Worship - 10:30 a.m. (July and August 9:30 a.m.)
The entire family gathers in the
sanctuary for the beginning of worship. Following a sharing time with
the younger members the children and youth proceed to their Sunday
School program. Nursery Care is provided for infants to two year olds
and is supervised by adults and youth. Throughout the year
"Family Worship" is celebrated where the children and youth
of our Sunday School remain with their families for the entire
service. Usually, the "Family Service" follows a different
format than our usual order of worship. On Communion Sundays the
children and youth also join the congregation to receive the Sacrament.
Sunday School
Presently, we are trying a new curriculum
. The bible story is the same for each of the Sunday School classes
but we explore many ways of learning the story. We have a bible verse
that we encourage the children to learn for each story. The story is
explored for three to six weeks. We have a Sunday School program for
three year olds to teenage years.
The United Church Women Purpose: To unite all women of the congregation for the total mission of the church and to provide a medium through which they may express their loyalty and devotion to Jesus Christ in Christian witness, study, fellowship and service.
The ladies meet the first Tuesday of each
month at 1:30 p.m. (no meetings in July or August). They gather for
fellowship, worship, study and business. They meet periodically with
other women of the Church and Community; to "tie" quilts
for the West Lincoln Community Care; to hear Guest Speakers; and to
share in joint programs.
Bible Study/Discussion Groups
We have gatherings most Tuesday evenings
at 7pm to study Lectionary readings. The remainder of the year is
dependent upon interest and need. So let your interests and needs be known!
Prayer Ministry
Every Tuesday a group of persons gather
in the Parlour of the Church to pray from 9:30a.m. to 10:30a.m. Our
prayers are on behalf of those in need of comfort and healing. We
pray for the work of the Congregation, Committees, Sunday School,
world problems, etc. A quiet time with God is beneficial for others
as well as ourselves. If you can only spend part of the hour this is
quite acceptable. Each person comes when they are able and leaves
when they must. Prayers are silent or spoken whichever is comfortable
for you. Bring your prayer requests personally or contact the Church Office.
Book Club: We have started a book Club that meets the last Tuesday evening of every month at 7pm to discuss a book chosen by the group. November's book: The Last Lecture.
