Worship
Ecumenical Thanksgiving Service
DGFUMC will join with others at an Ecumenical Thanksgiving Service held at St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church hosted by the Downers Grove Ministerium. At this service we will celebrate being part of a diverse community of faith that can come together in prayer and praise. All are invited.
Messy Church
Messy Church is a new kind of service on the second Sunday of the month for parents and children to share. There will be a time to make crafts as a family, a short (and lively) time of gathering, and a family friendly lunch. This time will be about building community along with thinking about that greater power that is creator and love of all.
Worship Service
This service of hymns, prayers, scripture readings and a sermon is held in the Sanctuary, with special music usually performed by the Chancel Choir. The service may also include music from one of our handbell choirs. Children may go with Pastor John Smoke to Sunday school following the children's sermon or may return to worship with their family. Preschool children will be in the nursery. Kindergarten through 5th grade will return to the sanctuary during the final hymn.
