WORSHIP ON SUNDAY MORNINGSWorship Services at 9:30 and 11:15 AM
December 15 Children’s Holiday Pageant “Jesus, the Refugee” This year’s pageant is titled, “Jesus, the Refugee.” It is based on what happens AFTER the birth of Jesus, and follows the Holy Family from Bethlehem to Egypt and back, bringing to life adventures they encounter along the way, including scary Dragons, helpful Spiders, a Magical Palm Tree and singing Sailors. With a script and original music by Music Director Glenn Mehrbach and a cast of three dozen children from the congregation, the Pageant mixes stories from the Christian Bible, the Apocryphal Gospels, the Infancy Gospels of Jesus, the Coptic Synaxar, and many Muslim traditions to tell the story of what became known as “The Flight into Egypt."
FRIENDLY REMINDER - STAY SAFE ONLINE THIS SEASON
Scams targeting religious communities are increasing. Scammers create fake email addresses (and sometimes phone numbers) impersonating the minister, staff members or lay leaders and contact congregants -- asking for contact information, login credentials, the Directory, etc., or to buy gift cards. Rachel Rose (Directory, contact info) and Franklin Hirsch (Finances) are the best people to help with these requests - they will always have the latest versions of our secure documents and are happy to help. If you receive a scam email, phone call or text, please report and delete it. If you're unsure, please contact Rev. Thom, Rachel Rose or Franklin Hirsch and see if the communication is legitimate.
