Christmas Eve
We look forward to celebrating the birth of Christ! We will have our services in person and online.  There is a place for you, your family, and friends at First Methodist McKinney!  If you have any questions, please let us know!  Our HEART Special Needs Ministry team will have a sensory room during the 1, 3, and 5pm services.  They are also providing sensory bags in worship areas.  We want everyone to feel supported and loved every time they are at First Methodist McKinney.
 
Christmas Eve can’t happen without volunteers! There’s still time to sign up to help serve Communion, pass out bulletins, or just be a smiling face at the door.

Sunday After Christmas

Worship in the Sanctuary will be at 9:00, 10:05, and 11:10 – no 8:00 service, so feel free to sleep in! Wellspring will hold a special Praise and Pancakes morning at 10:30 in Dyer Hall – join them for breakfast and Christmas songs! Our Children’s and Youth Sunday School will be taking the day off.
Are you looking for a cozy place to worship on Christmas Eve? During our most crowded services (3pm, 5pm, and 7pm) we offer worship in the Parlor. There will be Christmas lights, cookies, and space to spread out. There will be someone leading hymns as you worship along with the Sanctuary service. This is a wonderful option for those who may need more room to move around or less stimulation.
