Garrett's first day

The Daily Independent had a very nice article about Reverend Garrett Bugg in the newspaper today. Read the article HERE.

Teresa Cassity took some great photos of Garrett and Jennifer. Here they are with members of the choir before worship.



This is during the announcements.


The church presented both ministers with U.K. shirts which they wore proudly during the lunch held in Garrett's honor.

christmas play

The Not So Silent Night was based on the premise that the shepherds have been arrested for disturbing the peace. They are brought to trial, and the Christmas story is told through the testimonies of witnesses.

Here are the Baliff and the Assistant Baliff.

Here is the young family: Mary, Joseph, and the Baby Jesus.

Here is the defending attorney questioning one of the shepherds who gave a very compelling testimony.

"In that region there were shepherds keeping watch over their flock by night. Then an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them"

The defending attorney cleverly makes a case for making some noise on the night in question.

The prosecuting attorney questions Dr. Sigmund Fruitcake who diagnosed the shepherds as having "halitosis psychosis" caused from "inhaling sheep breath" and causes "delusion, confusion, and uncontrollable evangelism."

Here Ms. Shirley Busybody and Ms. Sophia Busybody give their testimonies that the soggy sheep smelling shepherds were running around waking everyone up shouting, "The Savior is born!" It created quite a commotion.

In a surprise move, the judge dismisses the charges. The courtroom erupts in a flurry of activity. "Joy to the World" echoes through the air!


We thank you, Lord, for the talent of our young people who brought the good news to us on Sunday afternoon. We also thank you for the blessing of Teresa Cassity in our midst. She does such a great job with our children, and we praise you for that!


Glory to God in the Highest!
