Frequently Asked Questions

    Dress Code

        There is none. Most of us wear 'business casual' but we also have some who
        are more comfortable in their best jeans.

    What time are church school classes and morning worship?

        Worship begins at 10:30 am and is about an hour long. Coffee and fellowship follow in the Sunday School hall for those who can stay.

        Sunday school is coordinated with worship and children go to classes after the Children's Time. Classes run from September to the beginning of June.

        Some special inter generational services are held and children stay in church for the entire service.

    Where do I park?

        Parking is available in the following areas:

        Along both Oak St and William St. beside and in front of the church, we park at right angles to the road.
        There are no lines so we just park as close as comfortable to the last car.
        The parking lot at Byng school across William St from the church is also available Sunday mornings.

    Where do I go when I get there?

        The main entrance to the sanctuary is through the front doors off of William Street. There are greeters at the front door who are glad to answer any questions you may have once you arrive. Many people also come in the back entrance off the parking lot through the church hall and the round room. The ramp is located at that door. You may have to ask directions if you come in through the hall but do not be shy, anyone you see will be glad to help.

    Are children welcome in worship?

        Because Centennial United worships as a community, children of all ages are welcome in worship. Worship each week includes a children's time.

        Colouring activities are available from ushers to help children if they become restless. We do not mind if children move around a bit or go over to sit beside Grandma.

        Should you choose, your child can participate in worship until the children's time is complete, and then they can attend Sunday School until the worship service is finished.|

        If you have a young infant who needs calming, there is a nursery across from the Christian Education Hall. It is well equipped for you with a rocking chair, play pen, high chair, and toys for young children.

    Order of Worship

        The bulletin you receive as you enter the sanctuary will tell you what to expect. The overhead screens will be used during the service for prayers and the hymns. Some parts of our worship are participatory, and worshipers stand at times. These times are indicated in the bulletin and you can follow the choir's lead. If it is difficult to stand – don't.

    Are there rules about who can participate in taking Holy Communion?

        We believe that a key feature of Jesus' ministry was his radical hospitality and open table. You don’t have to be United Church or even a member of any church to participate in the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper. There is no age requirement. All are welcome.
