We invite all to join us for this season of hope and light as we celebrate the coming of the Christ child.
Advent Sermon Series
Starting Sunday December 3 in worship, we will begin a series entitled “Roots: Advent and the Family Story of Jesus.” The series will focus on Jesus genealogical ancestry and his faith heritage. We will journey through the stories of both saints and sinners who are woven into the family line of Jesus. Invite a friend to come learn about the amazing, and perhaps surprising lineage of the Son of God.
Missions Advent Offering
<
At Buncombe Street, Missions is the heart of all our ministries. We support local and international mission partners who are seeking to grow God’s kingdom. This season, we ask that you prayerfully consider donating to our Missions Advent Offering to support Missions & Outreach at Buncombe Street. Jesus calls us to be witnesses to the ‘”Ends of the Earth” (Acts 1:8), and with your support, we can continue to serve our community and work together to transform the world! Donations can be made by check with Missions Advent Offering in the memo line or through Realm. If using Realm, please use the drop down menu to select “Lenten/Advent Fund”.
And all peoples on earth will be blessed through YOU.
Genesis 12:3
Poinsettias
If you would like to purchase a poinsettia in honor or in memory of someone, please complete the order form by December 17 and place it in the offering plate or mail it to BSMC (200 Buncombe Street, Greenville, SC 29601). A check for $20 per poinsettia must accompany your order or $20 cash. Make your check payable to BSMC and write “Poinsettia” on the check memo line.

Family Advent Night
Join us for a night of family fun as we kick off the Advent season! Drop in anytime between 4:00 – 6:00 PM on Sunday, December 3 in Sisk Hall. We will have stations with various activities for kids of all ages, including building gingerbread nativity scenes, making Christmas ornaments, and creating Advent wreaths. We will also have a station for holiday snack-making and kids will have a chance to write Christmas cards to our homebound members. There will be an opportunity for families to pick up and sponsor an Angel from “Mr. Bobby’s Angel Tree”, which has been put together by our own Bobby Thompson.
Bring your friends, family, and neighbors to this exciting Christmas celebration!
Women’s Christmas Luncheon
Women are invited to join us for our annual B-Street Women’s Christmas Luncheon on Tuesday, December 12. Our guest speaker, Angie Gage, will focus on reclaiming Advent, a season designed to lift our hearts to the light and life of Christ. Register by November 30 to get your free copy of the Advent devotional by Dan Wilt and follow along with our Advent sermon series, Roots. We can’t wait to take this time to pause, lean in, and “Behold, The Bright Morning Star” during such a busy season!
Lessons & Carols
Celebrate Christmas with our annual Lessons and Carols worship service. This is a special worship service that tells the story of the fall of humanity, the promised return of the Messiah, and the birth of Jesus, through various scripture readings and songs. This year, we will have some church leaders reading the scriptures, alongside the singing by our Chancel choir and congregation.
*As a reminder, there are no worship services in Sisk Hall on December 17. Please note that both our 8:45 AM & 11:00 AM Lessons & Carols services will be in the Traditional Sanctuary.
Christmas Nativity Program
Join us on December 17 at 10:15 AM in Sisk Hall as our 4th and 5th graders present their special Christmas Nativity Program. Journey along with our B-Street Kids as they lead us through the Nativity story with familiar Christmas songs in celebration of Jesus’ birth. An important part of this program is the collection of donations to support a cause close to our kids’ hearts. This year, we are supporting “Mr. Bobby’s Angel Tree”, which has been put together by our own Bobby Thompson. If you sponsored an Angel, please bring your items and we will have a moment during the program to collect them. Children’s Sunday School classes will attend this program together, as a class, on December 17.
*As a reminder, there are no worship services in Sisk Hall on December 17. Please join us before in the Sanctuary at 8:45 AM or after the program at 11:00 AM for our Lessons & Carols service.
