Psalm 100: 2-5 Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth. Worship the LORD with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. Know that the LORD is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the LORD is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.

Services at Bright Star United Methodist Church offer inspirational sermons, heartening music and an opportunity for worshippers to celebrate and respond to God's love and give thanks for the gift of His Son. Three unique worship celebrations are offered at Bright Star each Sunday. We have a(n) (1) Southern Gospel style service at 8:30 am in the sanctuary (2) Traditional style of service at 11:00 am in the sanctuary Children attending the 8:30 a.m. or the 11:00 a.m. traditional services are invited to join the pastor for the Children's Parable where the pastor will share the gospel in language that the children will find enjoyable and yet challenging. Following this special time, children may return to their seats or, be escorted to their classrooms for special programs. Children's church is available for those in Kindergarten to 2nd grade on the 1st, 2nd, & 3rd Sundays of each month only.  Children's Church will NOT be offered on the last Sunday of EACH month. Holy Communion is celebrated on the first Sunday of each month at the 8:30 and 11:00 sanctuary services. Seasonal services of worship are held during Lent, Advent and Christmas.
