Branford Church Ends All In-Person Worship Through Years-End

BRANFORD, CT — The United Methodist Church announced Monday that all in-person worship has been suspended until the end of 2020.

The church will continue to offer remote worship services with a live stream of their 9:30 a.m. Sunday service, which can be accessed on the church’s YouTube channel.

Past services can be accessed through the church’s website (www.umcbranford.org) and on YouTube. For those without access to the internet, an audio recording of the most recent service can also be accessed via Dial My Calls at (959) 202-4862.

During the Advent season, a virtual Lighting of the Candles of the Advent Wreath will take place each Sunday at 10:15am via a Zoom session (https://zoom.us/j/95843922273). As Pastor Kent Jackson leads a short liturgy and lights the candles in the UMCBranford sanctuary, viewers are invited to light the appropriate candles on their own wreath at home. Once the liturgy has concluded, pour a cup of coffee and join your fellow Zoomers for Fellowship Time – a chance for conversation and social interaction.

Christmas Services will be held on Christmas Eve, Thursday, December 24 at 5:00pm and Christmas Day, Friday, December 25 at 9:30 am. Both services will be held virtually and can be accessed at the church’s website.
