Worship at Madison Street
Worship at Madison Street is centered around the basic elements of worship
inherent to the United Methodist/Wesleyan tradition. Our services of worship
generally include a greeting and call to worship, an affirmation of faith utilizing
one of the historic Christian creeds, a time for people to greet each other, a
pastoral prayer, the Lord’s prayer, an offering, scripture readings, a sermon, a
message to the children, and the singing of hymns and other special music. The
sacrament of Holy Communion is usually observed on the first Sunday of each
month and at other special times during the church year.
Worship at Madison Street follows the Liturgical Calendar, which means we
celebrate a cycle of seasons in the church: 1) Advent, 2) Christmas, 3) Epiphany,
4) Ordinary Time, 5) Lent, 6) Easter, 7) Pentecost, and 8) Kingdomtide.
Currently, we are in the season of Ordinary Time. Given the term
“ordinary,” it may be easy to think that that the Sundays in this season are less
important than those of other seasons, but this is not accurate. The use of the
term “ordinary” in this sense refers to the Latin root “ordinalis,” which simply
means “numbered.” Therefore, the Sundays of Ordinary Time are numbered in
a series preceding and following other liturgical seasons. The liturgical color for
Ordinary Time is green, as indicated by the paraments on the lectern and pulpit
and the stoles worn by our pastors.
For more information or if you have questions about worship, please contact
any of our pastors.

THE AFFIRMATION OF FAITH
I believe in God the Father Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth;
THE SERMON
And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord:
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit;
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, dead, and buried;
the third day he rose from the dead;
he ascended into heaven,
and sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty;
from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
THE INVITATION TO CHRISTIAN DISCIPLESHIP
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.
