Fourth Sunday in Advent : Lessons and Carols

On the fourth Sunday in Advent, December 18th our worship will include a service of  Lessons and Carols.

DREAM - December 18, 2016The theme for the sermon is  Dream. Even as we begin to see God’s way of compassion and mercy, we also– like Joseph – come to acknowledge our reliance on God communicating with us and transforming us, not just in our waking, conscious lives, but in our sleeping, unconscious lives as well.


 


Moravian Love Feast

Advent at Parkwood UMCOn Sunday December 4th, the second Sunday of Advent, a Moravian Love Feast will be featured as part of the 11:00 am worship service at Parkwood UMC.

A Love Feast is a service of song during which a simple meal of buns and coffee are served. The buns and coffee are carried in baskets and trays by “Dieners”, or servers, while the choir, congregation and other musicians sing and perform hymns and carols. This is a simple, devout service that has great significance in the Moravian church and has been adopted by churches of other denominations.
