This is just to remind you that next week is the Live Nativity (December 9) and we have lots of work to do. Please set aside some time and join us here at the church as we celebrate Christ's birth. We are beginning a little earlier this year so make sure you get everyone in your family and neighborhood involved. We need cookies, actors, crowd herders and friendly faces on December 9th with our first performance at 6 p.m.
Take care, God bless, see you then. Scott

A Closing Prayer
Eternal God, you taught us that the night is far spent and the day is at hand. Keep us awake and alert, watching for your kingdom, and make us strong in faith, so that when Christ comes in glory to judge the earth, we may joyfully give him praise; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen. from The Book of Common Worship
