O HOLY NIGHT: ADVENT AT ATTICA FIRST UMC

CELEBRATING THE ADVENT SEASON

Begins on Sunday, November 30
O holy night, the stars are brightly shining;
it is the night of the dear Savior’s birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining,
till He appeared and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices,
for yonder breaks a new and glorious morn!
Fall on your knees! O hear the angel voices!
O night divine! O night when Christ was born!
​O night divine! O night, O night divine!

Christmas Eve, December 24 @ 7 PM: O Night Divine

Advent Devotionals After Church on Sunday:
Immediately following worship on Sundays in Advent, join us in the basement fellowship hall for a brief Advent devotional and discussion lasting no more than 20 minutes. These devotionals will come from Dr. Kate Bowler’s The Season of Waiting (and Waiting...and Waiting): A 4-Week Advent Devotional. No advanced reading or preparation is required. Just join us for a time of connecting with God and one another. Copies of the devotionals will be available for those unable to join us!
