To Our Guests
Welcome to the Wildare United Methodist Church! We pray that your worship experience will be a powerful one. If there’s any way we can be of service to you please let us know. Please know that our offering is a special time of worship for those who consider WUMC their church home. As our guest, please feel free to give as you wish, but please feel no obligation to participate. Again, Welcome to The Wildare United Methodist Church!
ARRIVING AT CHURCH:
We ask that all members and guests wear masks or cloth face coverings. We will have free masks available if you do not have your own. If you choose not to wear a mask we invite you to sit in sections of sanctuary and FLC that are designated as non-mask areas. We invite everyone to have their temperature checked near entryways as we have touchless thermometers available. Hand sanitizer stations will be available throughout the building. When arriving, our team will direct you to a seating area. We look to maintain a 6 ft. safe distance as we move and sit throughout facility. Coffee, other beverages and food will not be available but please feel free to bring your own coffee/drinks into facilities.
There currently will be no Sunday school for all ages, nursery, toddler, or children's church until further notified. We will be continually cleaning facility (door handles, restrooms, etc.) throughout Sunday worship times and during the week.
In-person and FaceBook Live Worship each Sunday at 9 am and 11am. To join us online, use the following link to our church FaceBook page:
