The season of Advent begins four Sundays before Christmas (November 30 this year) and ends on Christmas Eve. Advent is the beginning of the church year for Christians.

During Advent, we prepare for and anticipate the coming of Christ. This year’s Advent theme at Brecksville United Methodist Church is “What do you fear? Insisting on hope this Advent.”

Jesus entered a fearful world, one filled with rampant oppression, economic disparity, uncertainty, and instability. A world not so unlike our own. And yet, throughout the stories of Christ’s birth, we hear the whispers of angels delivering a surprising message: “Do not fear.”

As we journey through this season, may your hope become gritty and resilient. May you remember: hope that trembles is still hope. This season, let us insist on hope and trust that good news is greater than fear.

Join us in worship on Public Square in Brecksville or join us online. We have a seat for you!
