What should I wear? Brunswick United Methodist has a “come as you are” atmosphere. You will see some people dressed up; some dressed very casually. We have no expectations for attire.
Communion We believe in and practice Open Communion, so all are welcome to partake of the communion bread and grape juice (we are non-alcoholic) whether or not you're a United Methodist or a member of this church. Children are also welcome to participate, at the discretion of their parent or guardian.
Sunday School We offer classes for all ages, pre-K through adult, from 10:30-11:30 AM. You're welcome to join a class anytime, no prior Bible knowledge or other prerequisites are necessary. Ask an usher or the greeter at the Welcome Center to direct you.
Coffee & Fellowship An informal time of fellowship and refreshment is held every Sunday morning between the two services (approximately10:00-10:30am) in the Gathering Area just outside the sanctuary doors. It's a great time to connect with the pastors and other worship attendees. On the first Sunday of each month (except for June, July, and August) there is a full hot breakfast for all to enjoy—free of charge—in the North Fellowship Hall from 8:00-10:30 AM.
