In-person Worship Sunday at 9 AM
Worship at UMCL includes both traditional church music as well as contemporary worship music. Scripture, corporate readings, and a message from Pastor Hoyt focus our attention on worshiping the Lord and preparing us for the week ahead. We are a singing congregation accompanied by the praise band and/or organ or piano. Most Sundays special music from the choir, coral group, or soloist provide worship in song. We gather to praise God. All are welcome and invited to join with us in worshiping God.

Music at UMCL
Contemporary Music – is led by the praise team. The message is the same as the traditional music, but the “feel” is not. The praise team leads in a blend of contemporary, gospel and some traditional music with guitar, keyboard, drum and other instruments. See photo
Traditional Music – includes hymns and choruses accompanied by either the century old pipe organ or piano. Our pipe organ has been used continuously for over 100 years and was rebuilt by Parsons Pipe Organ Builders, Bristol, NY when it was moved to our new building in 2008. Other music includes special music solos or duets. Occasionally the pastor ministers with his guitar and a song. See photos
