Top 5 @ SPUMC
Christmas Eve was one joyous night day and night at SPUMC! From the controlled chaos of the 3pm Toddler Service to the 5pm Service with the 2nd grade Pageant to the pageantry of our 7 & 9pm Festival services with brass, choir, cello, candlelight and more, it was such a rich time of worship. Thanks to everyone who made it such a memorable day/night especially Erica Benjamin (3 & 5pm services), Meg Moore & the SPARK Worship Team (3 & 5pm), Laura Young & the Choir (7pm & 9pm services), Nicola Patterson (keyboard, piano and organ at all four services), the Baltimore Brass (7pm & 9pm services), Dave McKinney & Dixie Catlett (overall support) and to all who shared it with us. Hope all of your Christmas celebrations were fabulous!
On Sunday, December 28, we had ONE Combined Worship Service at 10am. We had a chance to linger in Christmas a bit longer, sing carols, and hear scriptures, poems & short reflections. There was also a Christmas Show ‘n Tell for our kids. Special thanks to all the College Students who served as readers for the service.
Our full morning schedule of worship services at 8am, 9:15am and 10:45am will resume on Epiphany Sunday, January 4. This is a Family First Sunday so our kids (elementary and up) will be with us in worship as we hear the story of the coming of the Magi and begin the New Year with communion. Sunday School for all age levels resumes the following week on January 11.
What a great night we enjoyed celebrating the season last week at S’Music & S’Mores! Kids made crafts, went on a scavenger hunt, sang and put on a delightful impromptu Nativity play and we all sipped lusciously rich hot cocoa, had fun roasting marshmallows for our S’mores around the fire pits outside and enjoyed the baked potato bar. Many, many thanks to Erica Benjamin, Director of Children’s & Family Ministries and Laura Young, Music Director, and their great teams for making it such a memorable evening for families of all ages.
