As always, Br. Bill Ray III photographed our Christmas Eve Lovefeast. He gave us an interesting look at the Lovefeast from several different perspectives. A gallery of his work is available here.

We have received a number of new members at both services on December 7th and 14th. We had an infant baptism on the 14th. Click on the images to view them larger.

This morning I am going to talk about two Christmases. The Christmas that each of us experiences around the tree we put up in our home, and that first Christmas in Bethlehem of Judea c. 2,000 years ago.

New Philadelphia hosted its annual Children’s Lovefeast and Christmas Play on December 14! Senior High Youth served the lovefeast, while Middle High Youth presented the Christmas story. Many thanks to all of the youth and adults who helped with this cherished event!
