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 at 9:00am. 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 fourth Tuesday evening of every month at 7pm to discuss a book chosen by the group. .
