Christmas at First United Methodist Church The Sanctuary is decorated with the bright reds of poinsettias and the green of garland and trees. The lights bring brilliance and warmth to the Sanctuary. The music is rich with the sound of familiar carols and choruses. The feeling is one of excitement and high energy. Christmas at First Church is amazing! As we move through the season of Advent, we build energy and excitement as we add decorations, sing more familiar carols, and read the familiar stories. We begin with the Service of Lessons and Carols, hear Handel’s Messiah, and enjoy the Children’s Christmas Concert. We offer Contemplative Worship on Wednesdays. We build towards Christmas Eve with its overflow crowds and joyful celebration! You need to be here! You need to allow the worship of the church to prepare you for the holy season of Christmas. Others need to be here as well. Who do you know that would benefit from our Advent and Christmas season? Please invite them to join us this month. Have you found yourself missing from your church? Come home this month! All are welcome in our church. This is a great time of year to invite people to encounter God through worship at your church. Once again, we will offer a wonderful opportunity to experience Christmas at First United Methodist Church. This year, our special Family Worship will be at 2:00 pm in the Sanctuary. This service is designed for families with children and people who do not want to drive after dark to come to a Christmas Eve service. Our other services will remain the same in time and format (See full schedule on the Calendar, page 5).
