Christmas Concert Recording
Thank you to everyone who participated in and support our “Angels We Have Heard on High” all-ages Christmas concert last Sunday. The program featured familiar carols with our children’s, youth, and adult music ensembles. Our Chancel Choir joined local orchestral musicians to perform the angelic “Christmas Flourish” by Randol Alan Bass. A recording of the concert can be viewed here.

Advent and Christmas Offering Supports Disaster Recovery
This year’s Advent and Christmas offering will support disaster relief in the United States. Donations to the offering will aid two efforts:

  • Reveille is forming an UMVIM (United Methodist Volunteers in Mission) team. Reveille’s team will be deployed in late spring or early summer 2025 to assist with recovery efforts in Western North Carolina which was severely impacted by Hurricane Helene during late September. This year’s Advent and Christmas offering will help provide the supplies and materials needed to equip the team. If you would like to learn more or are interested in joining Reveille’s team, please contact Bo Bowden.
  • The offering will also support UMCOR’s U.S. Disaster Response. UMCOR, the United Methodist Committee on Relief, is the humanitarian relief and development arm of The United Methodist Church. Through it’s U.S. Disaster Response, UMCOR seeks to alleviate suffering caused by disasters that strike within the United States and its territories. UMCOR journeys with affected communities throughout a disaster’s cycle, including disaster preparedness, relief, response, recovery, and mitigation. Learn more about UMCOR’s U.S. Disaster Response here.

Donate now to support these disaster relief efforts through the Advent and Christmas Offering. To donate by cash or check, please be sure to note “Advent Offering” on your check or offering envelope.
