Worship with Us | Sunday mornings @ 10am
In the season of Advent, we prepare to welcome Emmanuel, God-with-Us. This year, as we await the coming of the Christ-child, we are reminded that sometimes the greatest gift we can give anyone is the gift of our presence. Just as God is present with us every day, showing up for others in meaningful ways can truly make a difference in another person's life.

Join us in worship as our choir presents Glory to the Newborn King!—a musical journey through the true light of Christmas. Through beautiful carols, inspired new music, and thoughtful narration, this cantata tells the story of a God who comes when we least expect it, in the most unlikely of ways, to a most undeserving people. Come and experience the hope and wonder of Christ’s birth—glory to the newborn King!

Advent / Christmas Playlist
For as long as Christians have celebrated Advent and Christmas, music has been a key element. The power of music to create mood and move the emotions is integral for setting our hearts to welcome the birth of the Savior. To help enrich your observance of this holy season, Michael, our Director of Music Ministry, has put together a playlist of relevant music. Beginning on the first Sunday of Advent and continuing through Christmastide, he’ll share a new selection each day, say a few words about the piece, and offer recommended listening/viewing options. If you’d like to receive each day’s featured composition, simply send your email address to: mvaughn@avonumc.net.
