Sunday Mornings
9:15 – 9:45 a.m. Choir Practice.
Choir Practice is temporarily suspended until further notice. Our choir is open to anyone who wishes to join each week. Those who want to sing will meet before the service to practice that weeks song. Can't make it one week? No problem! Just come when you can.
9:45 – 10:00 a.m. Greeting & Welcome
Our primary entrance is the main door facing East State Street, a handicap accessible door with a ramp is just to the left of the main front door. During this time we greet each other, find our seats, and some grab a cup of coffee. A greeter is usually outside the sanctuary handing out bulletins at this time.
10:00 – 11:00 a.m. Worship in the Sanctuary
Worship begins when the church bell rings and everyone stops chatting with the Pastor Tom's greeting. During our worship service we enjoy a mix of traditional liturgical elements, videos, and all styles of spiritual music. On the 1st Sunday of each month communion is offered for all who wish to partake. Our Worship services are Live Streamed on Facebook weekly.
Update Reopening Guidelines as of June 13, 2021
Dear Church Family, Community members and visitors, OUT OF RESPECT FOR PEOPLE’S INTEGRITY AND COMFORT, and in response to the overall lowering of Covid-case numbers, the new guidelines from NYS & the CDC, THE SHERBURNE UCC IS ADAPTING OUR GUIDELINES AS FOLLOWS: As of June 13th, 2021, The Sherburne UCC: ASK unvaccinated people to please wear a mask. ASK all people to continue sitting with family pods and keeping the social distance of 6’; masked or unmasked. This lends respect toward all who enter. ASK anyone entering the Church school/ Nursery area to wear a mask. ASK people to stay home IF they feel sick. Your help & cooperation is greatly appreciated. Thank you, The Reopening Task Force
Young Disciples Program
The Young Disciples Program is temporarily suspended until further notice. Our version of Sunday school/ Children's church for kids pre-k through 6th grade is offered weekly during worship. Part way through the service the children are called to the front and dismissed to Young Disciples time after a brief lesson by Pastor Tom. Nursery care is available for younger children who would like to play during service.
11:00 a.m. Coffee & refreshments
Our coffee and refreshment time after church is temporarily suspended until further notice. Following worship, everyone is invited into the parlors for a potluck of snacks, coffee, and beverages. It's always a wonderful time of food and fellowship, where people get to know each other better.

All meetings are temporarily being held through Zoom. Most of our committee meetings are on Sundays during coffee hour. Our core committees include: Deacons, Executive, Missions, Pastor Relations, and Trustees.
