What to Expect on Your First Visit

Welcome. We would love for you to join us for one of our services. We think you'll discover for yourself the family atmosphere at Freeland UMC. For your first visit:

1. Pick a service: We have an early service beginning at 9:00 a.m. on Sunday morning and a later service at 10:30 a.m. Church school is at 9:00 a.m. during the early service.  Each service has its own style: the 9 a.m. service is contemporary and the 10:30 a.m. service is traditional.

SUMMER WORSHIP schedule begins the Sunday before Memorial Day. There is one service beginning at 10:00 a.m.

2. Get directions: We are located at 205 E. Washington St., Freeland, MI. Call 989-695-2101 if you have any questions.

3. Church school begins during the first service. Nursery through pre-kindergarten classes are located straight across from the church entrance. Kindergarten through 6th grade meet in the sanctuary for the first fifteen minutes of church and depart to their classrooms.

4. Go to the sanctuary for the service. Dress for our services is anything from jeans to a dress or shirt and tie. Everyone is welcome. During our services we have times when we talk aloud together, sing, stand up and sit down. Someone will let you know what to do when. You can use the songbooks that are stored underneath each seat or you can look up on the video screen to see the words to the music. It is up to you. We also have an offering in the middle of our service. You are not required or expected to put anything in the offering plate. Please, be our guest and keep your money in your pocket.

Sometimes we have Communion Sundays. Everyone is welcome to share Communion with us.

5. After the service: Join us in the Fellowship Hall for great company and a delicious treat.
