ADVENT MEDITATION
The Christian calendar marks time differently than the secular calendar. The year begins with the season of Advent,
which begins on the fourth Sunday before Christmas Day
and ends on Christmas Eve. Advent means "coming" or
"arrival." The focus of the entire season is preparation to
celebrate the birth of Jesus the Christ in his First Advent,
and the anticipation of the return of Christ the King in his
Second Advent. Advent is about hope, expectation, and
preparation.
CHRISTMAS GIVING
The United Methodist Women are supporting the
JUMC food pantry for Christmas giving. As you do
your grocery shopping, please pick up extra cranberry
sauce, canned goods, saltine crackers, jelly, and Christmas candy for the food pantry. In addition, the UMW
is offering support for Ashe Early Learning Center. The
following supplies are needed as the flu and cold season
