THE Program

Grace Choral Sang and beautifully, I might add.

Mary and Joseph travel to Bethelehem.

Angels, shepherds and kings all came to see baby Jesus, Mary and Joseph.

Group shot of all the kids.

Pastor Tim gave a Children's lesson appropriate for all ages.

Crunch Time

Time is flying by. Prep-arations are winding down. Last minute practices are being held. Here are a few glimpses into what I saw at church tonight.
*****

Guess you could start in by saying . . . . .

'twas the week before the program and all through the church

costumes were found after a long search

The tables were set up in the sanctuary with care

Someone make sure the tablecloths arrive there

The children have practiced and practiced some more

spoken their lines til there voices were sore

. . . . .

You will have to finish the poem

I gotta grab some cookies and head home!

Christmas!

Are you ready? It will be here before we know it! Cookies are baking and trees are being decorated. The Church building is decked out and looking great (thanks Trisha!). BUT, is that all there is to it?? No, certainly not!

At this time of year, the gatherings at Spirit of Grace are on hold until we get to the BIG one, the annual program and banquet, on Sunday, December 20 at 10 am. We are busy! Pastor Tim is teaching about Christmas. The ladies are collecting items for those less fortunate. The kids are practicing for the program. The men are looking forward changing the sanctuary into a dinner theater.

Still, that's not all. The bottom line is, it's about Jesus. It's about a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes who grew up to be our Saviour. It's all about Immanuel, God with us!

If you are struggling at this time of year, whether it be the hustle and bustle getting you down or just thinking "What's it all about??", then come and join us on the 20th. We extend a warm welcome to EVERYONE to come out and join us for this annual gathering. But more than a program and a meal, we want you to feel the presence of Jesus! He truly is the reason for the season!
