Advent Series
Why Wait: Experiencing Christ in the Sights and Sounds of Advent
Join us each Sunday in December as we explore what it means to stop, pay attention, notice, and truly experience the season of Advent leading us into the Christmas celebration. If you’re aching to be awakened to the meaning of Christmas, this Advent season is for you. If you’re longing to reconnect with memory and hope and joy, this Advent season is for you. Invite a friend to join you for worship in December, or on Christmas Eve for carols and candle lights at 5:00 pm.

This year’s Advent theme is “Why Wait – Experiencing Christ in the Sights and Sounds of Advent”. Books are $10 each. We will meet Wednesday nights at 7:00pm via zoom, on Nov. 29, Dec. 6, Dec. 13, and Dec. 20. Register at broadstreetumc.net/current-sign-ups
