A Bit about Worship

The congregation of Grace United Methodist Church worships God with authenticity, sharing in traditional worship in a beautifully inspiring atmosphere every Sunday morning beginning at 10:30AM in the Sanctuary. Our Sanctuary worship service celebrates our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ through prayer, celebrations of sacred music,and exploration of Holy Scriptures with anthems sung by our Vested Choir, accompanied by the magnificent Starkey Organ.

Holy Communion

You don't have to be United Methodist to dine at the Lord's Table! Everyone who desires a deeper connection with Christ is welcome. We always offer a gluten-free communion option along with grape juice with hope that as many people can receive as possible.

 

​

Coffee & Connection

We hope you'll remain after worship for a time of coffee and connection in Begg's Chapel.
We hope to see you, learn your story, and explore together how we all connect with God's story.

Launch of Children's Chapel

At Grace we believe in intergenerational and inclusive worship, so beginning today, children will start out in worship with the full congregation, but prior to the sermon, trained and Safe Sanctuary-cleared Children’s Chapel team members will meet children at the front left door of the sanctuary to take them to Children’s Chapel, if they choose, for the remainder of the service.  Children’s Chapel will offer a special curriculum built at Grace for only Grace by a wonderful retired Montessori teacher.  The curriculum will be intentionally inclusive and will follow the seasons of the lectionary, incorporate Godly Play, the sharing of sacred stories and books, children’s songs, and the creation of sacred art.  Your children, grandchildren, neighbors and friends won’t want to miss it! Invite them today!  Children’s Chapel is designed for children ages 2 and up, but younger children are also welcome to come with their parents or spend time in quiet or nursing in the nursery play room.

Handicap Accessibility

A handicap accessible entrance is located on the right side of the main church building, as you're facing the front on State Street.  Wave to a greeter at the main entrance and a greeter will ensure that you are able to enter through the side with ease.

What can I expect? 

Some people dress formally, and others don't. Some people live in the beautiful city of Harrisburg - both housed and unhoused.  Others come from the surrounding region.  Some are from the Queer community, others identify as being straight. All are welcome, exactly as you are! We anticipate that when we come with the truth of who we are - no matter how beautiful that might be, God will transform us together to be powerful people of hope who transform the world.
