Do you like Chris Tomlin, Casting Crowns, Brooke Ligertwood, Michael W. Smith, Brandon Lake, Elevation Worship? Do you listen to The Message on SiriusXM? Do you like Contemporary Christian Music but unable to hear enough of it?
Come join us here at Grace United Methodist Church in Centre Hall on the 3rd Sunday (usually) of every month. Our service has the same components as our Traditional Service, with only the
music changing.
Our band Glorified has been providing the music for 20 years. You’ll find the service to be uplifting, and you might walk away humming a song or two.
Occasionally we do change what Sunday is contemporary, so please call the office a couple weeks in advance to confirm. “Perhaps creation longs to have the words to sing, but this joy is
mine. With a thousand hallelujahs, we magnify your name.” as written by Scott and Brooke Ligertwood and Phil Wickham for the song “A Thousand Hallelujahs.” Preview Glorified via the video below...

Grace is looking for volunteers to assist with the Young Children’s Sunday School sessions that are held during the regular church service. Please contact Mindy Gensimore if you would like to assist or have questions, she will be glad to help you. Thank you!
