Worship Services – First Visit
Feel free to join us for worship on Sunday mornings at
10:00 a.m.
George Street United is a large and beautiful old
building. At first glance it can also be overwhelming, so we want to make
sure you know your way around. A large stained glass portrait of Jesus the
Good Shepherd is the first thing you see when you enter our vestibule and
narthex (that's a churchy word for foyer). Flights of stairs rise on either
side (there's also an elevator) opening into our sanctuary. The space is
large, beautiful and carefully restored. We can seat 850 people. By now you
may think we're in love with our own real estate. Be not afraid – our church
is the people. The congregation itself is relaxed, open, and welcoming. Some
of us still wear our "Sunday best", but many others come casually dressed.
We have progressive and open-minded worship in this venerable old church,
but still within the boundaries of traditional worship. Sit wherever you
want. Children begin their worship with us for the first part of the
service, followed by Sunday school. Some Sundays the children not only stay
in the sanctuary, they also lead the service. A nursery is provided every
Sunday, even through the summer months. Following each service, join us for
coffee in the auditorium directly below the sanctuary.
