Getting into the Christmas Spirit

On Sunday, Dec. 7th, after church, 7th and 8th grade girls were caught getting in the spirit of Christmas. First, they went to Walmart where they purchased Christmas gifts for teenage orphans; second, they decorated their classroom; third, they stamped Christmas cards for recovering soldiers; and, lastly, they had a surprise going away party for Ashley who will soon be traveling to California with her family (and boy was she surprised). What a great bunch of girls!

A Christmas Story

Last night, Pastor B. spoke about the events leading up to Christ's birth, focusing on John the Baptist. It was very interesting as the night started off with a human-tree decorating contest (see the video below), but the evening ended with a genuine message about Christmas (ask your teen(s) for details).
