Advent Starts on December 1

November 19, 2024 Leave a Comment

Sunday, December 1, 2024 is the First Sunday of Advent.

Advent is a four-week season dedicated to reflective preparation for the arrival, “advent”, of Jesus’ birth at Christmas time as well and Christ’s expected return in the Second Coming. During this important season in the church calendar, each week of Advent focuses on a different theme – hope, peace, joy, and love. 

Please join us for worship on Sunday mornings at 9 AM.

NOTE: On this day, the church will also start using Year C of the Revised Common Lectionary. You can see more information about the Lectionary by clicking HERE.

128 Years of Faithful Service

May 5, 2024 Leave a Comment

DeBows United Methodist ChurchDeBows had its beginnings in 1867.  It was then known as the DeBows Methodist Episcopal Sabbath School.  Christian education classes and worship were held in a small schoolhouse near the site of the present church building.

In May of 1896, DeBows was incorporated and officially became a Methodist Episcopal Church. Land was purchased at the current location and a new church building was erected.

You can see a complete history of DeBows and some pictures under the “About Us” menu tab.
