Christmas Eve 2006



Christmas Eve at Peoples UMC was once again another special time of worship and celebration. Everyone was especially appreciative of all the work that Andy Folley and Chuck Kamilewicz put into coordinating the outdoor, live Nativity, complete with live animals! Sawyer Marston posed as Baby Jesus, and slept without a cry, just like the carol says.

Another special addition this year was the Peoples Bell Choir (see photo), coordinated by Becky Snoddy and Doug Greer.

With 162 folks the ushers counted, we had a full house. What a beautiful site to behold as the light of Christ traveled throughout the sanctuary to each one's candle; and what a beautiful sound as the church bell broke the reverant silence and ushered in the full celebration of the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ with everyone's bells ringing!

Thank you to those serving on the worship committee who helped plan the service, and thanks to all who participated including Dr. Malcolm Cass and the choir, ushers and greeters, and sanctuary cleaners after the service! You are an awesome church body.

Praise and glory be to our God and Savior!
