COSHOCTON - Branch United Methodist Church’s 9 a.m. Sunday morning worship service is typically filled to the brim. Usually when that happens churches add a second Sunday services, but Mason decided to start a Thursday evening service. “I think there are people who whether it’s because of their job or something else can’t make it to church on Sunday mornings so this will give them the same experience as Sunday worship and Bible preaching,” he said. The first weekday service will be held on Thursday, May 5 and Mason said it will start at 6:30 p.m. and last until around 7:45 p.m. “The worship service is going to be a little bit different on Thursday than what we usually do here,” he said. “Thursday night will have a contemporary format. All the music will be upfront, then we will have the preaching, offering and teaching.” The music at these services will vary between different styles such as contemporary, old hymns, southern gospel and blue grass gospel.
