Communion

Communion
Question:   I am not a member.  Can I still receive communion?  All are welcome to take communion in The United Methodist Church, including visitors, those who belong to other denominations, and those who have never been baptized. Children are also welcome to take communion. (Grape juice, rather than wine, is used.) It is up to the parents to decide when their child should begin receiving communion. The Sacrament of Communion is served on the first Sunday of each month. Communion is served “at the rail” or by intinction. When served at the rail, go forward and receive a cup and a piece of bread. When served by intinction, go forward to the rail, accept a small piece of bread, and dip it into the juice held by the pastor or communion server. When communion is served by intinction, individual cups of juice are also available. Gluten-free wafers are always available. If you are unable to come forward, tell an usher and communion will be brought to you.

Flowers

Question:  I would like to dedicate flowers.  What is your policy?  We offer the opportunity to dedicate Altar Flowers or Narthex Flowers. (Altar flowers are not used on the first Sunday of each month due to communion.) Narthex flowers are two smaller arrangements which are placed between the railings at the steps inside the front doors. Make the arrangements with the florist, who will bill you directly. You may take the flowers home after the second service. If you wish a flower dedication printed in the Sunday bulletin, please contact our church office at least one week in advance.  Please direct your questions to our church office, [email protected] or (410) 848-8325. ​

Membership

Question:  I am interested in membership at WUMC.  What should I do?  Membership classes are held periodically for anyone seeking to learn more about Christianity and/or WUMC, as well as for persons wishing to become WUMC members (class is not required for membership). New members are received by transfer from another United Methodist church or a church of another denomination, or by Profession of Faith for those who have never experienced church membership. Contact our membership secretary for more information.
