Happening NOW
Here are some ways you can be involved at Haddonfield United Methodist this week.
God With Us // Advent Sermon Series
Through Christmas Eve
The holiday season is an exciting time - good food, gifts, gatherings. But in the busyness of the season we can sometimes struggle–with worry about the future, stress of bills that pile up, grief of loss of loved ones–anxiety for the happenings in the world–these feelings can cause us to feel alone while the world celebrates. But the purpose of Jesus’ birth is that all people would never be alone. God is ALWAYS with us–in our fear, our joy, and in our struggle. Come and get real with us as we hold the joy of the season, the anxieties we try to hide, and find God WITH US together!
HUMC Kids Advent Workshop
Celebrate the joy of the season with crafts, food, and festive fun at the HUMC Kids Advent Workshop on Sunday, December 7, from 5–7pm in Fellowship Hall! This free, family-friendly event is a wonderful way to gather with loved ones, enjoy sugar cookie decorating, sip hot chocolate, and share a light dinner together. In the spirit of giving, we will also collect brand-new teddy bears or plushies for Operation Bear Hug (see haddonfieldumc.org/christmas), bringing comfort and cheer to patients in local hospitals. Bring your creativity, your family, and your holiday spirit for an evening full of joy, laughter, and togetherness!
The Diversabilities Team will host a modified, sensory-friendly experience from 4:30-5pm. Registration is required–click the button below to fill out the registration form.

Order Christmas Poinsettias
The Floral Arts Guild will once again offer poinsettias to memorialize or honor loved ones, friends, or staff members on Christmas Eve. Over 150 plants are needed to decorate two Poinsettia Trees and the Altar for the Sanctuary, Fellowship Hall, and Welcome Center. Order online or download the paper order form and return to the church with payment by Monday, December 15.
Sunday, November 30-Monday, December 15
Christmas Flower Delivery Volunteers Needed
This Christmas, you can help us remind our homebound and hurting members that they are seen, loved, and cherished. A poinsettia on its own is a simple plant, but delivered with a warm smile and a few minutes of presence, it becomes a message of hope. Many in our church family long for connection during the holidays. Your visit may be the moment someone feels God’s love in a real and tender way. If you feel led to share this gift of presence, please sign up below. Your visit matters more than you know.
Sign Up Through December 10
