It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas!
It took the work of many volunteers to bring Christmas joy into the entryway, lobby, and sanctuary at Monaca UMC. Thanks to everyone who pitched in to decorate the church on November 29th!
There are several opportunities for you to find the Christmas spirit at Monaca UMC this season, including:
- Sunday, December 3 @ 11am
First Sunday of Advent with special music by Mary Beth Shannon on flute - Sunday, December 10 @ 11am
Second Sunday of Advent - Sunday, December 17 @ 11am
Third Sunday of Advent - Thursday, December 21 @ 7pm
Blue Christmas Program (Check out this post for more details.) - Sunday, December 24
Fourth Sunday of Advent and Christmas Eve
@ 11am: Share in the story of the First Christmas with our Nativity Play! Soloist John Hesser will perform “O Holy Night.”
@ 5pm: Experience Monaca UMC’s traditional candlelight Christmas Eve worship service. - Sunday, December 31
First Sunday of Christmas and New Year’s Eve
@ Noon: Join friends for a New Year’s Eve Brunch after worship.
We hope you will join us for these events, but however you celebrate the “reason for the season,” we are praying for the peace of the Holy Spirit to be within you this holiday season!
