OPEN HEARTS, OPEN MINDS, OPEN DOORS

YOU ARE WELCOME HERE

We believe that Jesus' message of unconditional love means that every human being is a child of God and is worthy of love, respect, and inclusion.  As a Reconciling Congregation of the UMC, we welcome and embrace people regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression, race, ethnicity, age, faith history, economic status, physical and mental ability, education and housing status.

 

We stand against discrimination and exclusion by choosing to worship and serve with all people through love, acceptance and reconciliation.

2025 Advent

 

Advent has arrived! During Advent, we prepare ourselves to celebrate the birth of Jesus the Christ child.

 

This year’s theme “What Do You Fear?: Insisting on Hope this Advent Season” invites us to remember that even in the most challenging or harrowing circumstances, God is with us. As the angels tell the protagonists of the nativity story, “Do not be afraid!” This season, we hope you will find reason to be filled with hope and joy as we make our way to the cradle of Christ. 

 

Advent is always a joyous time of year, but it is particularly special to celebrate with you at East End UMC. Our traditions and celebrations provide us with multiple opportunities to embrace the spirit of this holy season. Find devotionals and our full Advent calendar on our Advent page!
