Happy New Year! Today the church calendar begins anew with Advent as we celebrate Jesus’ coming in the past, present and future.

Welcome to Sunday Morning Worship @ First United Methodist Church-Kaufman this the First Sunday of Advent. Children of God, prepare your hearts!

Pastor Rhea shares his message “Reliable Witnesses: Simeon and Anna” as taken from Luke 2:21-38.

Let us join together as one body and sing praises with one voice for His glory.

“Alleluia He Is Coming”
“Come, Thou Long-Expected Jesus”
“Away in the Manger”
“O Come, All Ye Faithful” Special Music performed by Corey McCurry
“O Come, All Ye Faithful”
“Emmanuel, Emmanuel”

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13

We hope you have enjoyed this time of Praise and Worship for our ever present, loving God. Our prayer is that you have received God’s blessing today.
