A lady in our community has been in the hospital and rehab for an extended period. Almost two weeks ago, she was released by her doctor, but because she was did not have a ramp to get into her home, she had to stay at the rehab facility.
On Saturday, December 17, 2011, twelve adults and four children worked together to build a 39 foot ramp, allowing her to go back home.
Many thanks go to all those in the Chancel Choir who went caroling at nursing homes on Sunday, December 11, 2011. They truly brought joy all those who had the opportunity to hear them.
This festive tradition sponsored by the YES Committee continued this year with festive decorations and food! Many thanks go to those who opened their homes to us: Barbara & Karl Milstead; Cynthia & Rick Schleider; Anita Palmer; and Wendy Moran!
That’s just what fifteen children (including two visitors) and six adults did as they went caroling at Presbyterian Manor and The Gables on Wednesday, December 7, 2011.
What a great Christmas Gift for our kids and kids in need in our community!
On Saturday, December 3, 2011, nineteen children (grades 1-6), one youth, and nine adults – all representing our church – helped make gifts of “love bags” for young people of the Children’s Home and Teen Shelter to carry their belongings. They then delivered these gifts, got a tour of the Children’s Home, and sang a couple of Christmas carols for the children there!
These are just two of the comments about the special worship of lessons and carols with live nativity on December 4, 2011.
All vocal choirs (Cherub, Trinity, Wesley, Chapel, and Chancel) worked to make this event a success along with members from the Asbury Ringers, Elizabeth Yeager (flute), several youth and ministry assistants in the live nativity, and the ministry staff.
Special thanks also goes to all of those who brought goodies for Cafe le Paul in the Atrium prior to the service!
