Traditional Worship

Sundays, 8:15am and 11am

Worship at 8:15am or 11am in the Sanctuary.  Picture inspiring hymns, accompanied by piano and organ for the music. This is a service where tradition meets today. The liturgy is both historic and relevant, and God moves and breathes new life.

The services feature music from the organ, hymns of yesterday and today, responsive readings, and creeds.  Rev. Paul Gravley’s messages provide insightful teachings about the scriptures and how they apply to everyday life.  It might be called “traditional”, but it is certainly anything but boring!

Some music you might here at the traditional service are from a number of different places, including:

It has been said that music sets the tone and the emotional texture of the worship experience. Whether you are a veteran musician or a beginner there is a place for you. Contact Rev. Suzanne Cate at 817.326.4242 or suzanne@actonumc.org
