In worship we gather together to praise God, pray, learn, be blessed by music, offer ourselves to God, and be inspired to grow in our faith. The message is the same at both services. The music at 9:15 is more traditional while the music at 11:15 is more contemporary. We also gather for special seasonal services during Advent and Christmas, Lent and Holy Week. We invite you to join us for worship.
The Sacrament of Holy Baptism
Baptism is an important part of our worship and community life. It is our initiation into the Body of Christ, the Church, and it joins us with Christians all around the world, It is one of two sacraments that we celebrate in the United Methodist Church (the other being Holy Communion), The gift of baptism is celebrated within the context of worship, with the community of faith present as witnesses of and participants in God's grace at work in the life of the one being baptized,

The Sacrament of Holy Communion
Holy Communion is a sacrament in which we remember Christ's death on the cross and allow God to sustain us and empower us for following Christ in the world, We use bread and juice to celebrate, and we practice an open table, where anyone who wants to know Jesus and celebrate this sacred meal is welcome to participate,
At NSUMC we regularly celebrate Holy Communion in both worship services on the 1st Sunday of the month, Gluten free elements available,
