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 on Sunday morning and a later service at 10:30 a.m. Church school is at 9:00 a.m. during the early service. Both services have the same format. SUMMER WORSHIP schedule begins the Sunday before Memorial Day. During summer, there is only 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. Drop your kids off at church school: If you have children, drop them off before the service at Church School. Nursery through pre-kindergarten classes are located straight across from the church entrance. Kindergarten through 5th grade meet in the education hallway. If you need help finding the right classroom, just look for our Greeters outside the doors of the sanctuary. They will be happy to help you find your way.

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.
