Throughout the season of Lent, we journey to the cross, reflecting on its deep meaning and transformative power. This worship series invites us to explore the cross as more than a symbol—it is the ultimate expression of God's love, sacrifice, and redemption. Each week, we will walk through key moments in Jesus’ journey, uncovering the profound impact of the cross on our faith and daily lives.
Join us as we prepare our hearts for Easter, drawing closer to Christ through prayer, reflection, and worship.
"The Jesus Campaign" is a transformative worship series designed to reframe how we see Jesus’ ministry - not just as a collection of miracles and teachings, but as a bold, countercultural movement to bring God’s Kingdom to earth. Through this series, we’ll explore how Jesus’ message challenged the status quo, uplifted the marginalized, and called people to radical discipleship.
Each week, we will walk through key moments in Jesus’ ministry, viewing them through the lens of a divine campaign—a movement of grace, truth, justice, and love. We'll ask: What does it mean to be a true follower of Jesus today? How can we live out His message in a world that desperately needs hope?
This series will:
Examine Jesus’ revolutionary message and methods
Challenge us to embody His teachings in daily life
Call us to be active participants in God’s Kingdom work
Join in Sunday worship @ Fairhope UMC, as we follow the greatest leader in history and discover what it means to be part of The Jesus Campaign!
The "Songs of the Season" sermon series focuses on the rich and meaningful scripture associated with the music of the Christmas season, exploring how they reflect the story of Christ's birth and bring deeper understanding to the joy, hope, and peace of this holy time. Each week, the series highlights a beloved book of the Bible, connecting the biblical truths and the advent themes of anticipation, love, and the fulfillment of God’s promises. Through these messages, the congregation is invited to engage their faith and worship with a fresh perspective, drawing closer to the heart of the Christmas story.
At Fairhope UMC, we show the world what the kingdom of heaven looks like through our PRAYERS, PRESENCE, GIFTS, SERVICE, and WITNESS. In worship this past Sunday, Rev. Michael invited everyone to be "Faithful in Five" during his first 90 days as the Senior Pastor at Fairhope UMC. You can accept that invitation by taking a new step in one or more of these five areas.AND, when you commit to praying for your church 5 times a week, you can also subscribe to our new 5-Day Devotion.
“Canticle of the Turning” is a contemporary paraphrase of Mary's words in Luke 1:46-55, which echo earlier prophetic songs from the Old Testament. The hymn uses an Irish folk song for an upbeat, lively setting of Mary's song, full of hope and determination. We’ll be learning this song together in each week of our worship through this season of Advent.
My heart shall sing of the day you bring Let the fires of your justice burn Wipe away all tears For the dawn draws near And the world is about to turn!
This year’s theme, “wholehearted,” will challenge us to imagine the dynamic desire of a life that is fully committed in one’s relationship to God. The call is ancient, and yet ever new: Hear, O Israel: The Lord is our God, the Lord alone. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and all your soul, and with all your might. Keep these words that I am commanding you today in your heart (Deut. 6:4-6). Make plans now to join us each week in worship leading up to our Commitment Sunday on October 30.
Our September series is called “Having Words with Jesus” to reflect a variety of moods and meanings. Maybe we want to argue, or turn away, or give up. Or maybe we really want to know, to spend some time in his presence to understand and to explore, and finally, to hear. This is a call to listen again, even to the more difficult passages that we sometimes want to skip over. Join in this month as we have words with Jesus in worship.
