This Christmas season, our hearts are filled with joy as the children of our Sunday School
prepare a special gift for the whole church family. On December 21 st during worship, we will present a puppet show pageant titled “The Manger on the Mantle” that will give our
congregation’s youngest members their chance to share the timeless story of Christ’s
birth.

Tins of cookies are packed for members of our congregation who cannot always attend
worship. Please bring three dozen cookies; a dozen to be packed, a dozen to share, and
a dozen for refreshments that afternoon. A short general meeting will include the
election of a president and secretary, each will serve a two-year term. We will also
determine what organizations we want to support with a donation.
