What a joyous expression of faith we had this morning! The excitement of the approach of Christmas Day, a pageant, and lively fellowship was a thing to behold.

This morning's worship was gifted with two selections offered by the Jubilante Ringers, "What Child Is This?" and "The Moon of Wintertime." 

Taking the place of the sermon was a unique telling of the Nativity story, the "Christmas pageant in-a-bag" (part one and part two). Thanks to those who participated: Amy Abshire, Austin Cooper, Larry Esposito, Louise Cook, Jerry Ferguson, Dennis Hult, Josie Glancy, Sandra Jordan, Steve Matthews, Claudia Mills, Bob & Pat Muckle, Dennis & Marcy Roberts, and Jim Vander Vorste.


We gave thanks today for all those who contributed to the Mitten Tree and the Love Wreath. During fellowship time, the congregation was invited to take one of the ornaments Pastor Charles & Belinda painted.

Thanks this morning to: Belinda Alkula (Video), Jerry Beaber, Austin & Joan Cooper (Ushers), Jessica Bishop (Nursery), Pat Cleaveland (Fellowship), Louise Cook & Bob Muckle, Jr. (Counters), Tim Cook (Church school), Scott Glancy (Youth group), Bob Muckle, Jr. (Liturgist), Suzanne Polacek (Jubilante Ringers), Rev.
