Christmas Pageant Practice - Tomorrow at 4:30 PM
The casting call goes out - We are in need of shepherds and magi, angels and sheep and the Holy Family and narrators for the 4:30 PM Christmas Eve Pageant.
We will have two practices: The first is tomorrow, Friday, December 8 and Friday, December 15 from 4:30 to 5:30 PM.
If everyone could make a special effort to attend tomorrow's practice so we can give out the parts (including the youth group that will do "new" narrator parts). There are non-speaking acting parts for all the Sunday School children and even our 3 year old's can participate as little angels and sheep.
Christmas Flower Donations - Special Notice
The Flower Offering envelopes used by the Altar Guild for Christmas memorials were unavailable this year. The recent letters inviting parishioners to make a donation and have a memorial message printed in the Christmas service bulletins included a different type of offering envelope. Please use the "address" line to write in your memorial message, and return it to the office with your check enclosed, or make your donation on our website as instructed in the letter from the Altar Guild no later than December 15th. Thank you.
