Hello to our Sunday School Friends!
I know it sounds early and you are probably thinking about how you are going to dress up for Halloween but I’d like to talk about Christmas!
This year we are planning a fun musical for the family Christmas Eve Service at 7:00pm called Aaron the Allergic Shepherd. We would love to have as many of you take part as possible.
We will start practicing October 23 – as there will only be nine more Sundays before Christmas! We are asking you to join us at Sunday School each Sunday morning if you would like to be part of this exciting production! We’ll take a short time each week before our lesson to practice with Margaret Shoesmith who has offered to help us.
Additional practices will be Sunday, Dec. 18 from Noon to 2 p.m. and Friday, Dec. 23 from 1:00 – 3:00 p.m.
It’s going to be LOTS of FUN!!
