Worship Services |
|
At the First United Methodist church Burleson, we believe that
worship is important. We always seek to give our best to God in worship as a
gathered community of faith. It is our deep desire that worship becomes a
meaningful and vital part of each Christian life.
Our 8:15 a.m. "Proclamation" sanctuary service is a
traditional service of worship, which incorporates hymn singing, prayer,
scripture and sermon as well as music provided by our choirs.
Our 10:45 a.m. "Now" sanctuary service is our
main service. Our "Now" worship style is traditional and contemporary, we strive to be vibrant and uplifting. This
service has a children's time early on in the service and upon conclusion
the children leave the sanctuary to participate in children's
church.
**We celebrate Holy Communion on the first
Sunday of each month in both the 8:25 and 11:00 services. United Methodists
practice an open table, so all are welcome to participate in the sacrament,
regardless of age, church membership, or experience.

| Funeral Services |
|
The Christian funeral service is the final dedication of a
faithful disciple of Jesus Christ, and, like the first dedication at baptism,
occurs as an act of worship. The Gospel of Jesus Christ meets our deepest
griefs and anxieties about death with an even deeper hope.
The congregation and it's pastor want to minister to families on
the occasion of death. When a loved one dies, we hope you will contact our
pastor, as his presence would be helpful to you, regardless of the hour.
The Christian funeral is a service of worship in which we thank
God for the gifts of life, including those that extend beyond death. And we
especially give God thanks for this special person who lived among us and who
now, even in death, continues in God's love and care, and lives on in our
memory.
The death of a member of our church should be reported to
the pastor as soon as possible, and arrangements for the funeral should be made
in consultation with him.

Baptism Services |
|
Baptism is the sacrament of initiation into the body of Christ, the Church,
which joins the new member with Christians everywhere. It is the beginning of a
life long process of growth in Christ. It is ordained by Christ and can be
received only once, but its effects are lasting. The United Methodist Church
recognizes any Christian baptism.

Wedding Services |
First United Methodist recognizes that God’s blessing is a requirement for a
successful marriage and offers a warm environment where you can declare your
vows before God and all your friends. First United provides a wedding team of
minister, coordinator and sound technician to help you achieve you desires and
goals for a memorable occasion. Our ministers are responsible for all weddings
performed at our church. Under special circumstances, however, another
Methodist pastor may assist or officiate, if invited by the Senior Pastor..
