Welcome!
Welcome to Westhampton! We are so glad you are here exploring the website. We hope to meet you soon!
​
We have two worship services on Sunday mornings. Our new 9:00 AM service is a casual, come-as-you-are service, especially welcoming to young children. Our 11:00 AM service has a more traditional look and feel. At both services where we sing, reflect upon scripture together, and join our hearts in prayer. Find out more on the Worship page.
​
Arrival
Parking is located behind the church with the lot entrance on Algoma Street.
​
The Sanctuary building has several entrances:
-
Enter from the parking lot into the breezeway between the Sanctuary and the Christian Education building. Turn left and follow the hallway to the Sanctuary.
-
Enter through the main doors at the top of the steps on Algoma Street​
After entering the building, a Greeter or Usher will welcome you and answer any questions you may have. They will hand out bulletins and direct you into the Sanctuary. Seating is open.
During Worship
Worship begins with announcements and a prelude to settle our hearts and minds on God. After an opening hymn and prayer, a Children's Message is given for the children, youth and young-at-heart.
​
Children are welcome to stay in the Sanctuary. The congregation is very tolerant of the movement and noises of infants and children.
Scripture passages are read, gifts are offered, and the concerns of the church, community, and world are prayed for. See the Worship page to learn about our different services.​
​
Communion is offered weekly at 9:00 AM and on the first Sunday of each month at the 11:00 service. We also have communion at certain special services such Ash Wednesday, Maundy Thursday, Easter, and Christmas Eve Candlelight & Communion. WUMC celebrates an open table, so everyone is welcome to partake in the sacrament. You need not be a member of this or any other church. After receiving the elements, a candle may be lit in honor or memory of a loved one.
