On Sunday morning our Children’s Christmas Choir performed for the first time! They did a wonderful job singing the song “Joy” (based on Luke 2:8-14) by Seeds Family Worship.
In cased you missed it, you can see it below. I love hearing their sweet voices proclaiming the word of the Lord. “Glory to God in the highest!”
Thank you to all the families who participated and helped to make our Christmas Choir such a blessing and encouragement. And a special thank you to our three helpers, Gracie Schackow, Nate Marshall, and Katie Marshall!
Our choir has one more performance this Advent season. On Christmas Eve they will be leading the congregation in “Silent Night” so you don’t want to miss that!
If your child (age 5 and older) would like to join us for that Christmas Eve performance, it isn’t too late! Our final rehearsal is on Sunday, Dec. 21, at 5:00 pm and we would love to have them! Contact Harmony Smith (harmony812@gmail.com) for more details and info.

“The PreK/Kindergarten class uses a new curriculum this year called TRU. Each week, families prepare their child at home for the lesson they will hear in Sunday School at church. Then, at the end of each unit, parents and church leaders are invited to join our class for the morning to Remember and Celebrate what we learned about God during the unit and who He has been personally in our lives. Our group had its first Remember & Celebrate Sunday this past week, and it was a festive time of fellowship and praise!” -Rebecca Schackow, PreK/K Sunday School Teacher |
