ADVENT SEASON

November 29—December 24, 2026

Advent is more than a countdown to Christmas. It’s a season of longing and hope for what God is still bringing into the world. This year at AHUMC, our Advent observance is entitled “Still Longing For —”

Over four weeks, we’ll explore how we are still longing for direction, healing, liberation, and intimacy. Come light the candles, sing the songs of waiting, and name your own longings alongside a community that’s hoping with you.

Wherever you are on your journey, there’s a place for you. Join us this Advent!
