Songs of the Season

We light the candle of JOY for the last Sunday of Advent! Pastor Teresa’s sermon is entitled “Songs of the Season” and we’ll continue our theme Ancestral Knowledge with a look at the words spoken by Zechariah, the father of John the Baptist from Luke 1:67-79. Of all the Biblical characters appearing at this time of year, Zechariah is often overlooked. His story, however, is fascinating - including a God-mandated silent retreat! We’ll also hear a modern re-telling of The Magnificat by M. Barclay.

Christmas Eve

Our theme for Advent this year at University UMC has been centered on dreams and the Christmas story reminds us that we are all dreamers. Like those gathered around the manger, we come to this night each year with awe, wonder, and holy imagination for what is possible. Like Mary, we treasure God’s dream in our hearts and commit to keeping it alive. Like the holy family, we believe and trust in a God who comes to us in the vulnerability of a child.

A Family Tree for All of Us

Our Sermon Series for Advent this year is “Ancestral Knowledge.” Throughout the Advent and Christmas season, we recall the stories and traditions handed down through the generations that shape who we are. We will hear lessons about some of the less familiar characters in the Advent story including the genealogy of Jesus, Joseph, and Elizabeth and Zechariah. We will remember God still calls imperfect people to share the perfect love of Jesus with the world. This Sunday, Pastor Teresa’s sermon is entitled “A Family Tree for All of Us.” The scripture lesson is Matthew 1:1-17 - the genealogy of Jesus. At first glance, this scripture lesson may seem nothing more than a long list of names. However, the stories told through the names are a fascinating reminder that God is at work through the lives of ordinary (and even imperfect!) people.
