UNITED METHODIST

The East Greenwich United Methodist Church is located at 214 Main Street. We have two different worship services each Sunday. Both services are held in the sanctuary. Our 8:30 A.M. service is a traditional service, featuring the Chancel Choir. At 10:00 A.M. we have a contemporary worship service. Our Praise Choir, "Heaven Sent," leads worship under the leadership of Kim Wertz, our Director of Music. Children are invited to attend Sunday School in Colby Hall after the Children's Moment with Carol Reale, our Director of Christian Education. Childcare for infants and toddlers is also available downstairs.
Adult Bible Studies and classes meet on Sundays at 9:30 and 11:00 a.m. Other classes are offered through the year. Junior and Senior High youth groups, adult and youth choirs meet weekly.
The parish sponsors the Barbara M. Tufts Cooperative Pre-school, now in its 37th year. (Call Janet Joyce at 885-2132.)
