Advent  Celebration ​2022

Christmas Ornament, Caroling & Hot Cocoa Bar EVENT

 North Scottsdale United Methodist Church invites the community to a “Christmas Ornament & Caroling” Event on Sunday, Dec. 4th at 11:00AM  (following the 10:00AM service).   The event will host the music of NSUMC Christmas carolers while  attendees design a "Make & Take" Christmas Ornament and sip  hot cocoa.  This event is FREE and open to the public.

NSUMC artist-in-residence; Janet Flournoy, will share her skills and artistic direction in assisting families in creating nativity silhouette "make-&-take" ornaments for their Christmas tree.   Some of the materials that will be  supplied  include: clear ornaments, decals, labels,   glitter, poly-foam snow and straw to help make each ornament into your family's  Christmas 2022 ornament masterpiece!

NSUMC Chancel choir members, UWF ladies and children will lead attendees in Christmas carols and traditional Christmas songs as folks design their holiday ornaments.    Some of the  seasonal favorites will include:  Jingle Bells  by our children and youth,  Winter Wonderland  and  Silent Night  by our  Adult Chancel choir and  Santa Claus is Coming to Town  by the NSUMC United  Women in Faith.
 
While attendees are creating an ornament for their tree and singing carols, NSUMC will also be hosting a Hot Cocoa Bar.  The bar will include hot cocoa and all the "fixings" plus Christmas cookies. To add a twist, NSUMC will have “To-Go” hot cocoa and holiday cards for everyone to take home and share with friends and family.  This is a fun way to share the holiday cheer!
 
The four weeks prior to Christmas is the season of Advent, a time when people prepare for the coming of the Christ child.  NSUMC would like to help you and your family prepare for the season by providing  art elements to inspire creativity to help decorate the bough of your 2022 Christmas evergreen!  This is a perfect time for families to join in on the excitement of the season.  NSUMC will supply all of the crafting necessities and BONUS parents will enjoy that the mess will be left at church not on their kitchen floor! 
NSUMC invites you to craft, carol, sip cocoa and   share the spirit of ADVENT!

Advent Celebration-2019

North Scottsdale United Methodist Church invites the community to come prepare for the birth of the infant Jesus at their 22nd annual Advent Celebration on Sunday, December 1st, 2019, 11:00 am – 1:00 pm located at the church, 11735 North Scottsdale Road, Scottsdale, AZ, 85254

North Scottsdale United Methodist Church spreads the joy of ADVENT by inviting the community to a make-and-take craft event and a light lunch.   All families, large and small, are invited.  

The Advent is the period before Christmas that lasts anywhere from 21- 28 days, and includes four Sundays.  It is a time of preparation for the coming of the baby Jesus. Each Sunday of Advent churches around the world prepare for Christmas by speaking about four very important elements of Advent (peace, hope, love and joy), and their meaning to Christians.

Our reason for this season is the birth of baby Jesus! 

Come join us and prepare for this holy season!

North Scottsdale United Methodist Church celebrates the love of God through Christ by having traditional Sunday services at 8:30 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. NSUMC offers adults weekly Bible studies, Sunday school and choir.  The church also offers Sunday school classes for ages 2 through 90 plus children’s choir and youth group activities. The following events are sponsored throughout the year; retreats, holiday festivals, turn-around trips, Vacation Bible School, book studies, mission trips and more.  If you are interested in additional information about NSUMC or any of these events, please call the church office at (480) 948-0529, check out the website www.nsumc.com, their Facebook page, their Pinterest page or visit them at 11735 North Scottsdale Road (just south of Cactus Road).
