Advent is a season of joy and celebration, and it can be very busy here at FUMCSM! Join us for our weekly Sunday Worship services as we celebrate the birth of Christ. Please note that our regular worship times may be a little different for this season, and we invite you to join us outside of worship as well for fellowship, service, and celebration!
Our Angel Tree is up in Todd Hall, and it is EMPTY! Thank you to everyone who has adopted angels to bless children this Christmas season. Please note that all gifts must be brought to the church by Sunday, December 14 or we will have to consider them abandoned and purchase gifts from the donated funds.
If you’re new to Angel Tree, this is our annual ministry that helps provide gifts for children who might otherwise go without. We partner with Hemphill Head Start to identify families in need, and each angel ornament on the tree represents one child and their specific gift request. Simply choose an angel, purchase the requested gift, and return it unwrapped to the base of the tree along with the matching angel tag.
We are also accepting monetary donations to help cover any unreturned angels and to purchase wrapping supplies. Follow the link below. Donations of large gift bags are also greatly appreciated!
Thank you for helping us share the love and joy of Christ this Christmas!

The holiday season can be joyful, but it can also stir feelings of grief, loneliness, or heaviness - especially when the world around us expects constant celebration. Our Longest Night Service offers a quiet, contemplative space where those emotions are welcomed and held in God’s care. Join us on December 21 at 4:00 PM in the Sanctuary as we gather for prayer, reflection, and hope, trusting that Christ’s light shines even in our darkest nights.
We invite you to celebrate the birth of Christ with us on Christmas Eve, December 24. Our contemporary service will be held at 5:00 PM in the Fellowship Hall, followed by our traditional service at 7:00 PM in the Sanctuary. Visiting family and friends are invited as well - all are welcome to worship and rejoice with us on this holy night.
