Come Home for Christmas

Advent Worship Resources from United Methodist Discipleship Ministries

Advent is an invitation. For many, it is the invitation to get into that Christmas spirit, to count down the days to the grand celebration, and let the holiday transform everything around us. We’re not all about Christmas, the holiday, about December 25 with all the jingle bells and tinsel. The invitation this Advent season to your church and the world is “Come Home for Christmas.” United Methodist Discipleship Ministries has prepared free worship resources that include preaching notes, liturgical resources, hymn suggestions, small group guidance and much more.
