Advent & Christmas 2024
Join Wesley United Methodist Church of Oklahoma City for our Advent & Christmas series “Good News, Great Joy!” along with all of the individual, group, and family events. Christmas Eve will feature a candlelight and communion service at 6:30 p.m. in the sanctuary
Good News, Great Joy! Featuring:
New Worship Service begins during Advent!
What kind of new service is this?
This will be a smaller, more intimate worship opportunity that will feature the singing of classic hymns of the faith, sharing our prayers together, and celebrating an abbreviated holy communion service.
Will Pastor Adam preach in both services?
The 8:45 a.m. service will not have a sermon. Rather, we will spend our time together in singing and in prayer, finishing with communion rather than a sermon. A sermon will be preached at the 10:30 a.m.
Can I attend both services?
Of course! If you are interested in additional time for sharing prayers or singing more Christmas hymns during December, or if you are someone who likes to leave after the 9:30 Sunday school hour or may need to leave earlier in the day on Sunday, this service is for you. This is also a great option for those who have to work or prep for other church events and gatherings during the worship hour.
Will This Service Go Beyond Advent and Christmas?
We are using this time as a soft launch for making adjustments and finding the rhythm that best speaks to those who will gather. This will help us make plans for how the service will be used/take shape in 2025.
