CHILDREN'S CHRISTMAS EVE SERVICE:  As Christmas is rapidly approaching, it is time to start practicing for this year's Children's Christmas Eve Service.  In order to avoid discontinuing Sunday School while we prepare for this service, the practice schedule will be a little different this year.  All Sunday School children will practice the music at the opening and closing of Sunday School each week.  Additionally, children with speaking/acting parts are asked to stay after Sunday School to practice their parts.  Lunch will be provided.  Needed are a Mary, Joseph, three shepherds, three angels/soloists, and many readers.  We will also have some of the smaller children as sheep, but they will not be required to stay after Sunday School.

 

CHRISTMAS PRE-SERVICE MUSIC:  Anyone interested in performing a musical number (instrumental or vocal) prior to the start of the Children's Christmas Eve Service is asked to send an email to sundayschool@whitecreek.org.

ANNUAL LIVING NATIVITY:  St. Peter Lutheran Church, Waymansville, will hold its 6th Annual Living Nativity on Friday, December 6, from 5:30-8:30 PM.  King James, the camel, will be back along with some of his animal friends.  There will also be activities for the kids and free cookies, coffee, and hot chocolate in the Parish Hall.  Also featured will be a photo op set up to take pictures of your children in costume.  The Bethlehem Choir will be caroling in church, in "Bethlehem", and at the Waymansville store during the evening.  (The store will stay open later and will be featuring their delicious pizzas, sold by the slice or by the pie.)  All are invited to join in this celebration of the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
