Seasonal Events
The Berwyn UMC community has wonderful seasonal events and festivals for families throughout the year.

Plan to participate in these special events of the season:
  • December 4th: We will be decorating the church and Hanging the Greens at 3pm. Dinner and drinks will be provided.  
  • December 18th: Special Advent music. For our special Christmas cantata  at the 10:30 service, the choir will present “Glad Tidings of Great Joy” by Robert Hebble. This work is scored for choir, organ, harp, and soprano solo and the dramatic character Simeon. The harpist is Donna Cooper from West Chester. The soprano soloist is our own JoEllyn Berky Beck, who is featured in a beautiful arrangement of “O Holy Night.” Robert Smink will play the part of Simeon. 
  • December 18th: Christmas Brunch. Immediately after the cantata, we will have the annual Christmas Brunch in Schieck Hall. Rick Stoker’s menu will feature both breakfast and lunch items. The following is just a sampling: pancakes, spinach soufflé, roast pork loin, cheesy potatoes, green bean casserole, winter salad, and assorted desserts to in-clude cream puffs. The price is $10 for adults, $5 for children 5-10, and free for children under 5. You can sign up at services on Dec. 4 and 11 or call in your reser-vation to the church office.
