Mrs. Claus and Caroling

Mrs. Claus came to visit last week to read the Christmas story to the children at Noah's Ark Preschool. Here is Mrs. Claus and Pauline. Who is who?!

Last Saturday some of the church folk visited shut-ins and sang Christmas carols. It was a lot of fun!

Christmas Tea

Yesterday the Presbyterian Women hosted their annual Christmas tea. What a fun day it was. The tables was laden with food. Particularly popular with some of the younger crowd were the shrimp! I was so pleased when I saw the punch bowl containing egg nog! Very tasty!

The senior high girls performed the "candle dance." This was a dance Teresa Cassity introduced to us back in October. We've been working very hard on it, and were excited to get to do it at the tea. I hope I don't give anything away by telling you it is part of the Christmas play coming up Sunday, December 21. We will have a true potluck after church that day, and the play is at 2:00 p.m. You will love it.

Speaking of Teresa, she led us in the colorful bell ringing again this year and also read aloud a Christmas story.

We had a very special treat when the Greenup Children's Choir under the direction of Cora Hughes performed for us. I was amazed at their talent, and also that Cora (who has joined the choir) co-writes pieces for the youth people to sing.
