On Saturday night, we had a special Christmas Eve service. What made it even more special was the involvement of our RE children. To begin the service, Indigo and Burke walked behind Jennifer playing the violin, holding candles. They then lit the candelabra for the night. Carrie and Lauren performed a piece based on Rudolph-the-Red-Nosed Reindeer. The message of the piece: let your most underappreciated feature shine this year! Nick did the Children’s Story. He read, Santa’s Stuck, a very humorous piece about Santa eating too many cookies throughout the night to fit through the chimney by the end. Finally, Clara played a piece on her violin while Indigo and Burke passed the offertory baskets.

Thank you to all of the children and their families who participated in the service. I was so proud of all of you and thoroughly enjoyed your contributions!
