The Sacraments
Holy Communion is served on the first Sunday of every month as part of every the worship service. On the third Sunday, communion is served in the Cana Chapel after every service. Holy Communion is also served every Sunday at the 11:30am service and at 4:00pm in the Fellowship Hall prior to Friendship Feast as part of our outreach to the less fortunate in our community. If you would like to receive communion in your home, please call the church office at 343-7511 to make arrangements. In the United Methodist Church, Communion is open to everyone who wishes to receive it.
Baptisms are scheduled to take place during worship. Baptism classes are held the second Sunday of every month in the upstairs Conference Room. You may call or e-mail Nancy Troy at the church office to schedule a baptism. No one is denied baptism for any reason – you do not have to be a member of the church to be baptized or to have a child baptized.
A special Holy Saturday baptism service is held on Easter Eve. This service has been especially popular with families that have not had extensive church experience. E-mail Nancy Troy if you would like more information about this service.
Weddings and Funerals
We recognize marriage as a precious and sacred gift from God, and we are honored that so many couples choose to begin their married life with a wedding ceremony at the Cathedral. Please see Weddings for details about how to schedule and plan your wedding.
Funerals and Memorial Services can be scheduled through a funeral home, or by calling the church office. A pastor will meet with you to guide you through the process of planning the service. Services can be held in the Sanctuary, Emmaus Center or the smaller Cana Chapel. Costs vary. Reception space is also available.
