During the entire month of December, our church will worship together in one worship service! This service will take place each Sunday at 10 am in the Sanctuary! Sunday School classes that choose to meet will meet at 9 am. See below for special services that are also taking place throughout the month!

Sunday, December 1st – First Sunday of Advent
10 am – Sanctuary

Saturday, Dec. 7th – Blue Christmas Service
Join us at 3 pm in the Sanctuary for our Blue Christmas Service. Blue Christmas? Yes, blue, as in the blues. As in, “I am feeling blue.” In the midst of all the wonder, joy, and celebration of Christmas, with its carols, parties, decorating, baking, gift-giving, and family time, it’s easy to forget that in our church, there is likely to be someone for whom the idea of Christmas joy is not part of the season this year. Our Blue Christmas Worship Service will be a time of reflection in a safe space where people can come as they are. No one will need to “put on a happy face” to hide their genuine feelings. We’ll gather for worship, honoring our grief and lament while praising God that God’s love, hope, and light are still with us in our darkest times. Dress is casual.

Sunday – December 22nd – Fourth Sunday of Advent

Moravian Love Feast – 6:30 pm (Sanctuary)
The Moravian Love Feast is a longstanding annual service held at LUMC. The Love Feast, or Agape Meal, is a Christian fellowship meal recalling the meals Jesus shared with disciples during his ministry and expressing the koinonia (community, sharing, fellowship) enjoyed by the family of Christ.
The Lexington UMC tradition of the Love Feast was brought to our church in the 1980s by
Carol and Dick Fearrington. It has been celebrated during the Advent Season ever since with
lessons, carols and beautiful music presented by the choir. It also includes the sharing of buns and
hot chocolate.
