Music has always been an integral part of “Methodism” and at Grove Street UMC our Choir plays an important part in our worship service on Sunday morning. Our Adult Choir, though currently small in numbers, provides an inspirational message each week through music. They rehearse on Wednesday evenings at 7:00 pm. Our Sunday School Choir, which rehearses each Sunday at 11:00 am, also adds their voices of praise during each Sunday service. During July and August, a variety of members share their musical talents in worship by providing special music for us.
We share from time to time in mission projects and are looking ahead to the time when we will offer group mission projects regularly to help those who are in need. One of the projects that we do lend a great deal of support to is The Burlington United Methodist Family Services locate just north of us (about 19 miles) in Burlington West Virginia. In addition to monetary support, each fall members volunteer time to help with the renowned Burlington Apple Festival in late September.
The Petersburg Interfaith Food Pantry is housed in the former church parsonage right next door to our church. We help staff this important community ministry to those in need on a rotational basis with other churches of the community. When people volunteer at the food pantry they sort food, stock shelves, and on days when the food pantry is open distribute food. Clients are referred to and screened by The Community Action Program or in emergencies by local churches. Volunteers also help conduct food collections throughout the year to keep the food pantry stocked. Anyone interested in assisting with this project can contact the church office at 304-257-4682. Church volunteers are coordinated by Linda Hill.
