ways to
celebrate the season
God fulfilled a promise in sending his son Jesus, a promise that brought light into a dark world, and one that offered us HOPE, PEACE, JOY and a LOVE greater than no other.
Through worship, music, special events and times of reflection we invite you to experience the traditions of the season and make new ones.

christmas offering
The DayBreak Respite Care Ministry exists to serve families tasked with continual care of a loved one diagnosed with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia. This dream of a few people here at 1st UMC became reality in 2024 and is part of the ministry hub at 1st UMC @ Sycamore Tree.
In December, the Holston Foundation provided a $20,000 grant to help with scholarships to the program. However, money is still needed on the operational side to keep the plan going and to keep it affordable.
This Christmas, 1st UMC-Maryville is supporting DayBreak through its annual Christmas Offering. We hope you will consider giving in one of these ways.
- Giving during any of the Christmas Eve afternoon and evening services,
- Giving during the Christmas Music Recital (12/22)
- Marking your check "Christmas Offering 2024" and dropping it in the offering plate or mailing it to 804 Montvale Station Road, 37803

Worship Focus for the season
In the gospels of Matthew and Luke, the angels/messengers prepare us for Jesus' birth and ministry by telling us who and what Jesus will be. In these statements, we hear some of God's intentions for sending Jesus into the world. So, long before Jesus asks his disciples, "Who do people say that I am," or even, "Who do you say that I am," we hear through the words of the angels who God intends Jesus to be.
