United Methodist Liturgical Calendar 2026

United Methodist Liturgical Calendar 2026

The United Methodist Liturgical Calendar for 2026 is filled with joyous celebrations, meaningful reflections, and opportunities for spiritual growth. As we look ahead to the year, we anticipate coming together as a community to observe the seasons of the church calendar in worship, prayer, and service. From Advent to Pentecost, each season offers a chance to deepen our faith and connect with God in new and profound ways.

Seasons of Renewal

As we begin the liturgical year with Advent, we prepare our hearts for the coming of Christ, embracing hope, peace, joy, and love. The season of Lent invites us to reflect on our own brokenness and the sacrifice of Jesus, leading us to a time of repentance and renewal. Easter then bursts forth with the promise of new life and the victory of light over darkness, as we celebrate the resurrection of Christ and the hope it brings to all humanity.

Throughout Ordinary Time, we journey through the teachings of Jesus, learning how to live out our faith in our daily lives. Pentecost marks the end of the liturgical year, as we celebrate the gift of the Holy Spirit and the birth of the church. Each season of the liturgical calendar invites us to draw closer to God, to each other, and to the world around us, as we seek to embody the love and grace of Christ in all that we do.

Special Observances and Festivals

In addition to the traditional seasons of the liturgical calendar, the United Methodist Church also observes special days and festivals that hold significance for our faith community. From World Communion Sunday to All Saints’ Day, these observances provide opportunities for us to come together in worship, prayer, and service, as we celebrate the diversity and unity of the body of Christ.

As we look ahead to the United Methodist Liturgical Calendar for 2026, we are filled with anticipation and excitement for the journey that lies ahead. May this year be a time of growth, renewal, and transformation for our church and for each one of us individually. Let us embrace each season with open hearts and minds, as we seek to draw closer to God and to one another in love and faith.
