All About Sundays: Worship at Hickory Flat
At Hickory Flat UMC we consider worship the most important thing we do every week. Whether we are led by a choir or a worship band, in worship...
- We declare the goodness of God.
- We remember his great love as we sing his praises and hear of his mighty acts in the reading of Scripture, and as we examine the meaning of the Scriptures for our lives.
- In worship we experience God's grace as the gathered community celebrates the sacraments, prays for the world and for each other.
It is our hope that you will join us each week as we celebrate the presence and the purpose of the living God.
