✨ Family Fun in December ✨
Rev. Leigh Anne Duncan, Children's Minister: With the holidays quickly approaching, I wanted to share with you some opportunities for fun and fellowship for our children and families!
In December, our focus all month will naturally be on the Christmas story.
This Sunday, December 14: All are invited to bring a stuffed animal to church!
The presence of animals in the nativity story is both symbolic and profound. Though the gospels don't explicitly mention specific animals, we know logically their presence was there, The stable setting, with animals gathered around, underscores the humility of Jesus' birth - born not in a palace but among the lowly, in creation itself. This imagery invites us to reflect on the peace and harmony that Christ brings, and the interconnectedness of all life. We'll ponder this together during our children's moment on Sunday and everyone is encouraged to bring a stuffed animal to participate.December 21: This will be a fun day as we sing our song in worship as part of Lessons and Carols, and our children will be invited to be part of the Christmas story by choosing a costume and joining the nativity scene.
December 24: Family worship for all ages, with communion, at 4:00 p.m. Kids will enjoy the candle lighting part of the service, and we’ll have flameless candles on hand for those who want them.
