Worship TUMC Second Worship Service
Growing in Faith Together
Tumwater’s population is growing! We all can see this, as new housing developments seem to spring up around us every day. Our population at TUMC is growing also, and we are at the point where we need to consider expanding what our church has to offer to our community. A Design Team is now discussing and planning for the creation of a second weekly worship service and developing goals and objectives for it while keeping the TUMC Mission Statement – To Become, Grow and Serve as Disciples In the Name of Christ – as the foundation. The primary goal is to create a new service that will attract people in our community that we haven’t been able to reach. The main focus will be on young adults and youth, but of course everyone will be welcomed. Some of our initial ideas are that the new service will be more contemporary than our current service, perhaps more informal, maybe even on a different day and at a time that might be more conducive to young families attendance. Other new ideas have included possibly not having a sermon in every service, and devoting time to scripture study and open discussion, with discussion of popular culture using theological themes.
The Design Team will meet regularly to work on these new plans, and the congregation can expect regular reports on the progress of this exciting new initiative.
