As a church family, we practice many traditions which help define who we are. Not surprising for Methodists, most involve sharing a meal.

• In the past, we have sponsored community gospel music concerts.
• Holy Week is observed with special services on Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter Sunrise. Following the Easter Sunrise Service, we gather together for a special Easter Breakfast prepared by the United Methodist Men.
• On a windy Sunday in April, we meet at a member's farm for a picnic, softball and kite flying.
• A dinner after church in May honors the year's graduates.
• In September, Rally Day honors our Sunday School teachers.
• In the fall, the Harvest Festival Dinner is held, followed by a special service during which a "Special Thanks" offering is collected.
• The Christmas season begins with the "Hanging of the Greens", followed by a soup supper.
• On Christmas Eve, a special Candlelight Service is held to commemorate the birth of our Savior.
