Worship Ministry
Fairfield Glade United Methodist Church
Worship is a primary entry point into the life of our congregation. We
seek to offer a setting where God’s divine presence is experienced
through music, Scriptures, preaching, and prayers. Each Sunday we
hold three services: two traditional (8:30 and 11:00 a.m.) and one
blended (9:45 a.m.). Our traditional worship follows a general,
historical order with elements and acts of worship that would be
familiar to many persons. At the traditional worship, Holy Communion
is served on the first Sunday of each month. Our blended worship,
known as Sacred Encounters, offers a more informal style of worship
and music, using many contemporary “praise” hymns. The music for
Sacred Encounters is led by Marty Gibson, our Assistant Music
Director, and our praise team known as “The Gospel Truth.” At
Sacred Encounters, Holy Communion is served each week.

send an email if you are interested in receiving tapes.
Environmental Arts Committee
A new sub-committee of the Worship Ministry Team, our
Environmental Arts Committee meets to examine scriptures projected
for use in worship and works to design visual elements for the altar-
table and chancel area to enhance the worship experience. The
Environmental Arts Committee also helps to coordinate the many
banners used throughout the year within the sanctuary. Contact
Tony Perkins if you are interested in learning more information or
being a part of this ministry.
Seasonal Decorations
Each year before Advent we “dress” the church for the season of
Advent through Epiphany. It is a time of fellowship and celebration as
we hang the greens, set up the Christmas Tree, and unpack the
nativity.

services are as follows:
8:30 Dick and Carol Radtke
9:45 Jim and Anne Grove
11:00 Arlene Meyers
