St. Andrew Methodist Church invites the community to share in the joy of the season while exploring ways to be “a gift” to others. From concerts and fun children’s events to Stations of the Nativity, an advent Bible study and worship, as well as the second year of a new Giving Tree tradition, there are many ways to come together for celebration, reflection, and service to others.
“Throughout the four weeks of Advent, St. Andrew will focus on each of these essential themes—Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love—inviting our congregation and the broader community to engage in meaningful reflection and action,” said Rev. Arthur Jones, senior pastor of St. Andrew. “Each week will serve as a reminder of the gifts we can bring to the world, encouraging us all to not only seek these virtues but to actively be the change we wish to see.”
Bring your family to St. Andrew on Dec. 8 for the annual Advent Celebration from 5:30-7:30 p.m. The popular and fun event features a Christmas train ride, an exhilarating 8-foot snow tube, musical performances, Christmas karaoke, a hot chocolate bar, and a trip back in time to “A Night in Bethlehem,” an interactive family experience for children to explore what life was like in Bethlehem. The event is free, and an Italian dinner is available for purchase.
