Inviting people on a journey with Jesus.

This December we are all going to “Come Together” using Beatles songs to help tell the Christmas story! It will be a fun and meaningful way to anticipate and celebrate Jesus' birth. So let your sideburns grow long, put on your bell bottoms, break out the tie-dye, and join us to worship the coming King of hope, peace, joy, and love. This is a perfect time to invite friends!

This December we will be imitating the believers in the book of Acts by being part of starting a new church! Specifically, 16% of all our general budget December offerings will go to help fund a Global Methodist new church start in Bloomington/Normal, Illinois which will begin gathering people and launching ministry in 2024. Thank you for your generosity!

This year our Angel Tree tradition continues, and there are two types of angels to choose from:
▪ Gift cards for Safe Families host families
▪ Bulk items for gift bags for each resident at Liberty Village
The deadline to get all the gifts dropped off at the church will be December 17.

The first Sunday of Advent, you will find Christmas trees in both the Family Life Center and Sanctuary foyers adorned with angel ornaments. Each ornament represents an
individual or family that you can bless this Christmas season!

This year we will be making gift bags for all 108 of the residents at Liberty Village! For many of the residents this will be the only gift that they receive this Christmas! To help out with this, you can pick up a RED angel on the Angel Tree and buy one of the bulk items needed to fill the gift bags. Additionally, we will be collecting gift cards for Safe Families. Find a BLUE angel on the Angel Tree and pick from a variety of Gift Card options to bless a Safe Families host family this Christmas as they support and love children in our communities.

If you have any questions feel free to reach out to Bonnie at bonnie@troymc.org.

Inspired by the classic 1946 Frank Capra Film, this version is performed as a 1940s live radio broadcast. Eighteen of our actors perform the forty-four characters with four Foley Artists providing the live sound effects. Three female studio singers lend their talents
singing jingles from vintage 1940s radio commercials.

With its themes of self-sacrifice and that everyone's life touches so many other lives, the play sends a powerful message about God's grace.

Performances are Friday, December 8 at 7:00 p.m. and Saturday, December 9 at 5:00 p.m. They will be held in the Family Life Center. There is no charge for admission. A free-will offering is optional.

Join us for an afternoon of beautiful Christmas music!
You are invited to attend our 2023 Christmas Concert, “He Comforts Us” on Sunday, December 17 at 3:00 p.m. in the Family Life Center. Refreshments will be available immediately following the conclusion of the concert.

“He Comforts Us” inspires us to remember our Heavenly Father sending our Savior, Jesus, who redeems us and gives us hope for salvation. Many musicians from amongst our church body will join together to present this program which features Troy Methodist’s Bell Choir and Chancel Choir, as well as several vocal and instrumental soloists and small ensembles.

Rebecca Koebbe, director of Traditional Worship Music at Troy Methodist, leads a team of many volunteers who make this event possible each year.
