Las Posadas
Las Posadas: A Christmas Tradition of Faith and Community Posadas are a Christmas tradition celebrated in many Latin American countries, especially in Mexico. This holiday takes place the week before Christmas Eve, symbolizing the journey of Mary and Joseph from Nazareth to Bethlehem in search of a place to stay.
The event culminates with a celebration that includes prayers, songs, piñatas, and traditional foods, such as tamales and punch. Las Posadas are an opportunity to strengthen the community, share the faith and remember the true meaning of Christmas: the birth of Jesus.
This year the posada will be held on December 22nd at 4:00pm in our church. You are invited, bring your friends and something to share.
Christmas Eve Candlelight Service

UM Student Sunday
Originally established in 1872 as the Children's Fund, today, United Methodist Student Day Sunday has the same purpose, calling upon the denomination to support their students as they prepare for life by adding knowledge to their faith. Every year, General Board of Higher Education and Ministry awards an average of $5.5 million in financial aid to United Methodist students. The offering taken on United Methodist Student Day is one opportunity to support these scholarships. Every dollar – yes 100% - received goes towards supporting and educating a new generation of principled Christian leaders for the church and the world. Currently, there are over 70 scholarships available for undergraduate, graduate, or doctoral United Methodist students.
