My Church Home
(author unknown)
This is my home, my church home,
The place where I belong,
Where friends and loved ones join with me,
In praise and Prayer and song.
This is my home, my church home,
With doors that open wide,
Where I can come when cares beset,
And know love waits inside.
This is my home, my church home,
My heaven from the storm.
Where friendly hands reach out to me,
Gracious and true and warm.
This is my home, my church home,
Oh, that I could share,
The strength and love and peace and joy,
With all folks everywhere.
Advent
November 29, 2026 marks the start of the United Methodist Church’s Advent season which is the fourth Sunday before Christmas Day. Advent includes four Sundays and ends on Christmas Eve. Each of the four Sundays has a distinctive theme. The First Sunday/Christ’s coming in final victory, The Second and Third Sundays/John the Baptist’s role in preparing the way and The Fourth Sunday/The events leading to Jesus’ birth.
The word Advent comes from the Latin adventus, meaning “coming". In the UMC tradition, Advent is not just an early Christmas season. It is a time of anticipation and preparation for the first coming, remembering Jesus’ birth and incarnation, the second coming, looking forward to Christ’s return in final victory.
Historically, Advent was a 40-day season of repentance, fasting, and prayer for new believers before baptism. Today, it is a season of hope, reflection, and readiness to welcome Christ in both senses.
The UMC highlights Advent as a season of hope and spiritual growth, encouraging congregations to prepare their hearts and anticipate the coming of Christ while also engaging in acts of love, peace, and justice.
