Chrismon Service
Sunday, Dec. 8th
Our children and youth once again re-enacted the Nativity story to lead us in to the Christmas Season.
The final act, including the baby (yes, a real baby). Note that one small sheep (with head in hand) has decided to stray, and is fleeing down the aisle toward family
The full cast of the re-enacted the Nativity - except one sheep.
Note the cell phone on the left framing the Wise Man in red - a justifiably proud family member, without doubt!
The line to place the Chrismon white cross on the tree, and to place the toys for the struggling families, under the tree
More of the long line
Some of the gifts, which are donated, under the tree. Looks like one of the young donors is doing a final check ... or maybe looking for options to add to his list!
