How do methodists worship?

In: Methodism [Edit categories]

Answer:

Methodists typically worship in a church. The style and expression of worship is different at each church. There are traditional services, contemporary services, casual dress services,etc. In a mainstream, traditional United Methodist Church, there is an order of worship that goes something like this: It begins with a music prelude, a processional with acolytes(young people in robes) lighting candles and hymns. Then there are a few more songs. Then some announcements.Then some readings. Then a children's minute either followed or preceeded by an offering. A "thank God from whom all blessings flow song" doxolgy, A prayer and/or more readings, A SERMON, (about 50% shorter than a Baptist sermon), closing hymn and a benediction. Then the preacher goes to the entrance/exit at the back/front of the church and hugs and shakes hands with congregants. It is much less formal than Catholics or Episcopalians, much more formal than Baptists or Pentecostals
