We need your help! For an upcoming sermon series, we're going to focus on our favorite hymns.  But Pastor Andy needs to know what our favorites are!

You can help. Click here to submit your favorite hymn (from the United Methodist Hymnal or The Faith We Sing); or fill out the paper form at the back of the sanctuary and put it in the offering box; or email your favorite to the church office at info@adaumc.org or give your favorite hymn to Pastor Andy.

All are welcome in person in our sanctuary each Sunday morning at 10:00 a.m. You are also welcome to join us digitally via our Live Stream link above or on our Podcast. If you missed a worship service, check out the church's past services on the church's Youtube channel.

You are invited to browse the church's Facebook page for announcements and each Sunday we send a livestream to the Facebook page as well. Visit our Worship webpage where you will find additional information.

We want all to feel welcome and safe in our worship services. Some individuals may choose to wear a mask. Please respect their choice and be sensitive to those who prefer to wear masks.

Please make sure to greet Pastor Andy and Lauren in church and as you see them in town. Remember to share your name often as we welcome the Burns family to our congregation!
