We celebrate the birth of the Messiah and the start of the season of Christmas with a Christmas Eve service. The Season of Christmas runs from Christmas Day (December 25) through January 5th. Sundays are designated as Sundays of Christmas.
The first Sunday in January is commonly refered to in United Methodist Churches as Baptism of the Lord Sunday. The Sunday closest to January 6th is always Epiphany Sunday (with Baptism of the Lord Sunday falling on the following Sunday)
The color used during the season of Christmas is white.
