Dear Beloved Community, Friends and Church Members,
As we approach this joyous season of Advent, it truly is a time of anticipation and reflection leading up to the celebration of the birth of our Savior, I extend a heartfelt welcome to each and every one of you. At the Paint Creek United Methodist Church, we are excited to usher in the Advent season, and our congregation has come together with great enthusiasm to prepare our church for this special time of the year.
Starting on December 3rd, we invite you to join us in a season of hope, love, joy, and peace. Our church has been adorned with love and care by our dedicated members who have poured out their hearts into creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere for all who enter. The radiant glow of our Advent wreath, the melodies of hymns filling the air, and the spirit of fellowship will surely embrace you as you step through our doors.
If it has been a while since you last joined us in worship or if you are searching for a spiritual community to share in the beauty of the Christmas season, we extend a heartfelt invitation to you. Starting on December 3rd, our church will be immersed in the traditions and spirit of Advent, leading us on a journey of reflection and celebration that culminates in the lighting of the Christ candle on Christmas Eve. Every Sunday leading up to Christmas Day, we will gather to sing together and partake in the meaningful tradition of lighting the Advent wreath and sing the traditional Christmas hymns and carols. As we progress through the weeks, the glow of the candles will symbolize the increasing light of Christ in our lives.
On Christmas Eve, December 24, 2023 starting at 4:00 pm, at the culmination of our Advent journey, we will dim the sanctuary lights, fill the space with the warm glow of candles, and join our voices in singing the timeless "Silent Night." It is a truly magical and heartfelt moment that we warmly invite you to experience with us.
Whether you are a longtime member of our church family or a newcomer seeking a welcoming community, we encourage you to join us this Advent season. Come and rediscover the joy and beauty that this holiday season brings, and let us celebrate together the birth of our Savior.
Maybe it is time for you to walk through our doors on Sunday morning starting at 11:00 am and once again feel the spirit of Christmas that is always alive at the Paint Creek United Methodist Church. We would be honored to share it with you. We invite you and yours to join us in worship, fellowship, and song as we welcome the Advent season with open hearts and open arms now and throughout the year, and we look forward to celebrating this special time of year with you.
In Christ's Love,
Pastor Marv Herman of the Paint Creek United Methodist Church.
