Advent @ Kenmore United Methodist Church
Advent Study: Angels Of Christmas
Starts Sunday November 17 at 11:15 am.
Led by Pastor Nick Perry
"The Angels of Christmas: Hearing God’s Voice in Advent", a four-week Advent study by Susan Robb, explores the four angelic visits surrounding the birth of Jesus with Zechariah, Mary, Joseph, and the shepherds. In this study, the reader will explore the visits and dive deep into the history of the angel Gabriel–and other angels–in the Old Testament. The Angels of Christmas uses these four angelic appearances to discuss God’s presence in history and our lives today. The messages of the angels hold meaning for listeners both then and now.
Nov. 17 : Gabriel & Zechariah
Dec. 1th: Gabriel & Mary
Dec. 8th: An Angel of the Lord & Joseph
Dec. 15th: The Angels & the Shepherds

Blue Christmas
The Ken-Ton Clergy Group is holding a Blue Christmas Community Service on December 16 at 7 pm at
Nativity U.C.C.
530 Colvin Blvd, Buffalo, NY 14223
Pastors NIck and Becky will be part of the service and encourage participation for any who seek a service which honors grief, loss, and difficulties in this season of light.
For many, Christmas is not ‘The Most Wonderful Time of the Year’. A Blue Christmas service can offer some healing and hope. The idea behind the Blue Christmas service is to create space for the acknowledgment of the heaviness often carried during this season, as well as offering the hope that Jesus gives. This Blue service is a beautiful way to make space during the Advent season for those suffering any kind of loss –– whether the loss of a person, a dream, finances, stability, health, or more.
Christmas Eve Services
Please join us for our Christmas Eve Candlelight Worship Services, being offered at 4:30pm and 7:00 at Kenmore United Methodist Church. All are welcome at both services
4:30 PM Star of Wonder
An interactive Christmas Eve experience where we follow the story of the Star of Wonder to celebrate the birth of Jesus.
7:00 PM - Candles, Carols, and the Christmas Story
This service will feature our KUMC Chancel Choir, the Schlicker Organ, a guest violin & cello duo and vocal soloists leading us in worship. This service will end with the lighting of candles in the congregation and singing of Silent Night.
Poinsettias & Christmas Alternative Gift
Order Christmas Poinsettias to decorate our sanctuary thru Christmas then take them home or donate them to someone who is homebound.
Advent, when we celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. We wonder about Mary that night.
Who helped her? Who were her midwives, for she almost certainly had one or two. And how did young
Mary care for the baby Jesus afterwards?
Certainly, Mary did not have diapers as we know them, and they are out of reach for many new young mothers today.
For this years Christmas Alternative, we are supporting both Clara’s Closet and Kenmore Mercy Hospital’s
Nurse-Family Partnership program.
Clara’s Closet provides free clothing, household goods, and hygiene products to refugees and low-income
people and is always looking for diapers, especially sizes 5 & 6.
The Nurse-Family Partnership program is a resource for low-income first time moms to help them create a better
future for themselves and their baby.
This Christmas Alternative will be split between these two
organizations. If you’d like to bring in diapers we’ll accept
them too!
Orders/gifts are due by December 15. Thank you for your
generosity to a worthy cause!
