Worship

Worship is a celebration of the Christian faith.  It is a time to rededicate ourselves to God as we offer our selves, our souls, and bodies to the Almighty through Jesus Christ.  Congregational participation is vital to our worship experience at Virginia Beach United Methodist Church.  Outstanding music enhances our worship.  All ages are welcome at our service.

The Lord's Prayer
 
Our Father, who art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done on earth
as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who
Trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory,
forever.  Amen.
