Christmas Concert

Make plans to attend our annual Christmas Concert featuring the PUMC Choir with orchestra this Saturday, Dec. 2 at 4pm.

Usher in the Christmas season with a

Christmas Carol Concert, performed by the PUMC Worship Choir, handbell duet, and accompanied by a professional chamber orchestra.

Brimming with fresh arrangements of favorite carols, the concert has reflective moments,

both triumphant and tender, that celebrate the Christmas story.

Join Us For Worship

The word Advent means coming or arrival, and is the season we prepare for Jesus to arrive on Christmas Day! Each Sunday in Advent we'll prepare our hearts for Jesus by remembering that he will come again, that he comforts his people, that he invites us to participate in what he's doing in the world, and that he was born in a stable in Bethlehem.

Reflections on An Unlikely Advent

An Unlikely Advent guides readers through the themes of hope, love, joy, and peace by sharing the stories of Elizabeth and Zechariah, Herod, the Magi, and the shepherds. Watch the video to hear a PUMC staff member reflect on this week's material.

Pinehurst UMC has a Hearing Loop. The system provides clear sound directly to hearing aids with a t-coil. If you do not have a t-coil, a limited amount of headsets are available during worship.
