This Advent, we’re preparing our hearts to receive the greatest gift ever given—Jesus Christ.
The prophet Isaiah foretells his coming, and the Gospels proclaim his holy birth. Here comes Jesus bringing hope, peace, joy, and love to a world in desperate need!
Caroling to BUMC Members at 2 p.m.
Bring your holiday spirit and join us for a joyful Christmas caroling adventure! Families are welcome as we hop in church vans and travel to members’ homes to spread cheer and brighten their day. Lyrics will be provided, and the more voices, the merrier — we’re hoping to form several groups, so grab your friends and come make some Christmas magic together!
4 p.m. Family Service
Looking for a kid-friendly service? This one is for you. There will be "The Unrehearsed Pageant," where every child can participate, favorite Christmas carols to sing, and glow sticks instead of real flames. Nursery will be available for infants and toddlers.
6 p.m. Traditional Service
A traditional Christmas Eve worship service with carols on the organ and piano, candlelight as we sing "Silent Night," and a message from Senior Pastor Mike Morgan. Nursery is available for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. This service will be livestreamed to our website, Facebook, and Youtube channel.
11 p.m. Candlelight Communion
Led by the Sanctuary Worship Band, you can expect beautiful music, candlelight, and to receive Holy Communion as we ring in Christmas Day in this meaningful service.
2025 Advent Devotional
Our BUMC Advent Devotional is now available! This year’s devotional is lovingly written by members of our church family and offers reflections, stories, and prayers to guide you through the season. Pick up a copy in the narthex or church office, and join us in preparing our hearts for Christmas.
