What to Expect
When are services?
Sunday Worship Services start at 10am and last about an hour. Online Service can be watched on Pastor Brian's YouTube
What are services like?
Here at Clare UMC, we worship God through a blend of both traditional practices and contemporary worship styles. This means we utilize the United Methodist Hymnal and prerecorded music.
What about my kids?
We welcome children to join our worship services and all our events.
We have a STAFFED NURSERY available for children ages birth through Kindergarden.
We also have a Kid Zone in the sanctuary for the youth to hang out. Children worship bags can be found in the Kid's Zone.
When is communion?
Communion, or the Lord's Supper, or Eucharist, is observed typically on the first Sunday of each month & is open to all who desire to take of the bread and the cup and experience God's grace.

When should I arrive?
Most people arrive 20-30 minute before services start, to grab some coffee, chat with others, and prepare for worship (by praying, reading scripture, listening to the worship team warm up). We also have coffee, treats, and great conversation following the service.
