DIRECTIONS
& PARKING
Winthrop United Methodist Church is located at 58 Main
Street, in Winthrop.
The church is conveniently located about 10 miles from Augusta, and
about 20 miles from Lewiston/Auburn, in the downtown area of Winthrop.
We are across from the Winthrop House of Pizza, and next to the Dead
River station.
Use the map below to locate us, or contact the Church
Office at 207-377-8620 for directions.

Parking is available on either side of the church, next door at 72 Main
Street, and in the Winthrop House of Pizza parking lot across the street
(on Sunday mornings only), as well as on Main Street. Please respect
the signs designating customer parking placed by Winthrop House of Pizza
and Dead River.
COMMUNION
Communion is served every Sunday during the church service.
We use the method of intinction (dipping in a communal cup), and serve
bread and grape juice. Gluten-free bread and juice cups are also available
for those with food allergies. All are welcome to take part in communion.
ACCESSIBILITY
Handicapped access is available via an elevator to the
sanctuary and Sunday School classrooms on the second floor. The elevator
is located on the ground level, through the side door (Wonder Awhile
Nursery School entrance), near the handicapped parking.
CHILDCARE AND ARK-TIVITIES
Nursery care is available during the Sunday worship service
at no charge, for children from infant to age 4. The nursery is equipped
with fun, age-appropriate toys, and staffed by paid church employees.
Ark-Tivities, a time of engaging worship-related crafts and games, is
available for children from kindergarten through third grade during
the worship service. Children who are going to Ark-tivities stay in
the service until after the Children's Message, when Ark-tivities begins.
Children of all ages, from babies-in-arms on up, are also welcome to
stay with their parents during the service. While we have childcare
facilities available if you care to use them, we understand that some
parents and children are more comfortable together, and that some parents
desire to have their children stay for the service at an earlier age.
PRAYER CHAIN
Our worship service includes a time to share personal
"Joys and Concerns" with the congregation. We recognize that
sometimes a person is unable to attend a service, or they wish to have
a joy or concern shared only among our "prayor warriors" through
our email Prayer Chain. If you would like to request prayers for yourself
or loved ones, please contact Christina Kennedy via email
or at 512-2627. Christina is also the person to contact if you would
like to be added to the email list as a prayer warrior. If you have
a spiritual matter you would like to discuss with the pastor, please
contact Pastor Ned Crockett via email
or the Church Office, at 377-8620.
St. Richard's Prayer
Thanks be to you, our Lord Jesus Christ,
for all the benefits which you have given us,
for all the pains and insults which you have borne for us.
Most merciful Redeemer, Friend, and Brother,
may we know you more clearly, love you more dearly,
and follow you more nearly, day by day. Amen.
