Come early or stay late for coffee and conversation. Sanner Chapel is the original sanctuary of the church, recently redesigned and redecorated by an outstanding artist of the Pittsburgh Area. The worship is more formal, but still filled with warmth and fellowship. The magnificent four manual organ fills the area with sound, and is joined by the Chancel Choir of some forty voices, and often by one of our eight handbell and chime choirs. Preaching, children's sermon, and the same atmosphere of warmth and fellowship that pervade the other services are hallmarks of this time of praise to God.
Child care is offered at all worship services.
On New Year's Eve, a Communion Service is celebrated in Sanner Chapel. Holy Week begins with Palm Sunday and the traditional celebration of the palms, followed by weekday noontime worship services. On Maundy Thursday of Holy Week, Holy Communion is celebrated at 12 Noon and again at 8 PM with the lovely Tenebrae Service of Darkness. The traditional three hour service of the Seven Last Words is held each Good Friday from 12 to 3 PM with community pastors preaching the last words of Jesus from the cross. Worship at Mount Lebanon UMC sets the standard and invites all to encounter the Living Christ in exciting and meaningful ways.
