Congregation specific information for ministries within the church. Activities for Children and Youth We are active in ministry with our children and youth. Children have the opportunity for Christian education through our Sunday School program which meets Sundays at 8:45am from September-early May. They also can choose to participate in our Vacation Bible School occuring one week in summer. For more information see the Children's Ministry page. We are fortunate to have an excellent relationship with First Presbyterian Church, and therefore, we have combined our Middle School (6th-8th grades) and Senior High (9th-12th grades) Youth Groups for increased numbers and increased fun. Throughout the school year the youth meet for fellowship, study, service, worship and fun. For more information see the Youth page.
These liturgical ministries within the church enhance our worship experience and participation. Each week a team of ushers serve the congregation by greeting worshipers, handing out bulletins, answering questions, lighting candles, monitoring sound system and collecting our tithe and offering. The lay readers assist in worship by reading scripture and leading unison prayer. Lawn Care Regular attendees and members of the church each take a week during the mowing season and do their part to keep our lawn and church grounds in good condition. The prayer chain is a calling chain that can be activated by anyone who requests prayers by simply calling the church office or each prayer chain leader. The members of the prayer chain committ to pray for the request. Prayer Chain List and Instructions In the event that a death occurs, the congregation, through the UMW, provides a luncheon for the grieving family and community after the Service of Death and Resurrection. We consider it a holy priviledge to care for our friends and neighbors in their time of need in this way. Committees and Church Council Multiple generations work together to provide leadership within the church. The committees and council meet approximately 6 times a year to make decisions, plan events, evaluate ministry, set goals and to do the business of the church. The Committees of the Britton United Methodist Church are: Christian Education, Missions, Trustees, Finance, Staff Parish Relations, Trustees, Worship and Memorials.
The United Methodist Women are one of the most active groups within the church. They meet monthly for business, fellowship and fun. For more information see the UMW page. 2009 Youth Group Supper Instructions and Serving List Our small but jubilant choir seeks to enhance our worship service several times each month. Choir practice is held on the third Wednesday from September-May at 8pm.
