This Week @ South Shore UMC

LITURGICAL COLOR: PURPLE

The paraments – the cloths on the cross and pulpit – are now purple signifying we are in the Season of Advent. The Season of Advent begins on the fourth Sunday before Christmas. This is a season of great anticipation as we prepare for the coming of Christ.
