Advent is a special time of year when we prepare our hearts and minds for Christmas.
The word “Advent” means “coming” or “arrival,” and we’re excited to share this season with you, celebrating Christ’s first coming and anticipating His second coming. We hope you will join us in celebrating the Advent season this year at UBC.
UBC is structuring this year’s Advent series based on the four themes of hope, peace, joy, and love. This advent series will help us see how the advents of Jesus, both his being born as a baby and his future return as King, show us how God brings us hope, peace, joy, and love, and how he himself is a God of hope, peace, joy, and love.
This devotional is meant to supplement Sunday services with reflection and to encourage families or friends to engage with the text of Scripture we will be preaching through on Sunday mornings. So let’s, as a church, and as families, stir one another up, by way of reminder, about who Jesus is and what he did for us. Pray that this devotional will help you see Jesus as great, and help your family anticipate and celebrate both Jesus’s birth at Christmas and Christ’s second coming with eagerness.
Join us at UBC for one of our three identical Christmas Eve services! Our Christmas Eve services are a special time for our church family to gather together for worship & carols, a Christmas-themed sermon, candle lighting, and more.
Christmas Eve is always one of our most well-attended services of the year. To ensure that we have enough space at each service for everyone, we’re asking everyone to register for the service you plan to attend. As you register to attend services, please keep in mind that 4-year-olds and above will all be worshiping together in the Main Auditorium for the Christmas Eve services.
Christmas Eve is an “all hands on deck” day for volunteers. If you’re able to help during one or more services on the Greeting Team, Parking Team, or U!Kids Classrooms, please sign up to volunteer!
Can’t attend in person? We’ve got you covered! Our livestream will be available on YouTube and Facebook during the 5:15pm service.
We’re thrilled to let you know that our Gospel Heights campus will be hosting their own Christmas Eve service! More information here.
