Sunday Worship Services

Monaghan has two traditional worship services that are held at 8:00 and 10:30 am.  The 8 am is a smaller more intimate gathering for worship, whereas the 10:30 service includes a time for children and often times special music, led by our children, adult choir, handbell choir.

Summer Worship

From Memorial Day weekend to Labor Day weekend, we have one Summer worship service at 9 am. There are no Sunday School classes in the summer.

Special Services

Occasionally we bring the whole church family together for a combined service for special services, like our music celebration Sunday in May, these dates can be found on the church calendar. This one service takes place at 10:30.

The sacrament of Communion is an important part of worship, we invite all to join us at table as we partake. We use grape juice and bread, there are also individually wrapped gluten free communion wafers on each tray. Typically communion is the 2nd Sunday of the month.
