There are several ways to celebrate the Advent Season with Centenary United Methodist Church and friends in Pentwater. They are planning several special activities to prepare for the celebration of Christ’s birth.
The first is Christmas by Candlelight, which will be Sunday, Dec. 8, at 7 p.m. in the Centenary UMC sanctuary, 82 S. Hancock St. in Pentwater. Welcome the Advent Season during a beautiful candlelight service featuring a variety of music from local musicians.
Next is Community Christmas Caroling on Wednesday, Dec. 18, at 4:30 p.m. Attendees can lift their spirits while singing their favorite Christmas carols with live musicians during Pentwater UMC’s Community Dinner. All are encouraged to bring their friends and family to be a part of this community-wide event and join the church for dinner.
A Christmas Eve Candlelight Service is planned for 7 p.m., Tuesday, Dec. 24, with snacks and a children’s movie, “The Crippled Lamb,” being shown beforehand from 5:45 to 6:30 p.m.
Lastly, a Festival of Lessons and Carols will be Sunday, Dec. 29, at 10:30 a.m. with readings and songs telling the story of Christmas.
