Don’t worry, our minister will invite you to stand or sit along with everyone else. We use slideshow projected at the front of the church to guide the congregation during the service. This includes which part of the service we’re in, words to be spoken by the congregation, and words to the hymns that we are singing. 

The offering plate is passed around the congregation near the end of the service and is used to collect donations for the church.

If you are visiting with us, we don’t expect you to put money in the offering plate and you are welcome to just let it pass by. If you want to support our ministry and mission, we’d love for you to prayerfully consider giving to Carleton Memorial United Church. You can give by cheque or cash during the service.

No two services are exactly alike at Carleton Memorial. We are eclectic in our worship style. That said, there is always music, prayer, scripture reading and a message. Generally, there are three “movements” during the service: a welcoming/centering time, a message, and a responsive time. Sometimes our services are “busy.” Sometimes they are more meditative. But we always strive to be relevant, and provide transcendent and transformative worship experiences.

There are no belief requirements for attendance at Carleton Memorial. Our congregation members hold a broad range of beliefs. Whether you have a lot of faith or a little, what matters most is that you come seeking the sacred.
