Advent and Christmas Events Scheduled at United Methodist Church of New Lenox in December

Christmas is in the air once again!!! Come and celebrate the Advent Season with us here at the United Methodist Church of New Lenox! Each Sunday is a different experience you won’t want to miss!

Lincoln-Way Central and Lincoln-Way West Madrigals on Sunday, December 2nd. Enjoy the colors, costumes and harmony of our area youth as they sing old tunes from long ago to help set us in the holiday spirit.

 Come back at 5:00 p.m. on December 2nd for our Annual Advent Family Night, complete with dinner, crafts, a children’s store where children can purchase inexpensive gifts for their family, and singing carols to wrap up the evening.

 Listen to the Bells or Youth Choir during our December 9th worship services.

 You definitely won’t want to miss this year’s Christmas Cantata on Sunday, December 16th, give in memory of Mary Ann Pyles, "Let the Whole World Sing," performed by our Adult Chancel Choir accompanied by a 26 piece live orchestra and featuring our liturgical dancers during the performance as well.

 This year, instead of three Christmas Eve services, we will be doing something a little different. With Sunday falling a day before Christmas Eve, our Pastors thought that perhaps a special Sunday Evening service at 7 p.m. on December 23rd would replace one of the Christmas Eve services to help families better coordinate their family celebration times and still participate in a special Christmas Evening service.

Christmas Eve will feature a our 5:00 p.m. Christmas Eve service geared toward children and our 11:00 p.m. Candlelight Service with the Celebration and Herald Bell Choirs performing their music to ring in the birth of Christ!

 Our final Sunday in December will feature special music as well as our praise team, "Haven," as they sing the final music of our Christmas season.

We hope that you can join us for several, if not all of our special Christmas celebrations in December. May the love of God and the peace of Christ and celebration of His birth be yours this Holy Season!
