Advent 2026 at Basehor UMC

"Fall on your knees, O hear the angel voices!"

Few Christmas songs capture the wonder and beauty of the season quite like O Holy Night. This Advent, we'll use this beloved Christmas carol as a guide to rediscover the story of Jesus' birth and the meaning of that holy night when God entered the world.

Through Scripture, story, and song, we'll explore the words of this familiar carol and the events surrounding the birth of Jesus. We'll reflect on the hope, love, and promise found in the Christmas story and consider what it means for us today.

Whether you've sung this carol a hundred times or are hearing its words with fresh ears, we invite you to join us as we prepare our hearts for Christmas. Come experience the wonder of that holy night with us!
