Christmas Fest Thank You!
The Christian Education Committee thanks the many FPCG members and friends who made the December 18 event such a rousing success!
During the course of the afternoon, nearly 100 participants of all ages from the church and the community had viewed the live nativity in the FPCG parking lot on their way to the Primary Room and Longstreth Auditorium where they made gingerbread houses and other holiday arts and crafts.
Soups, chili, and hot apple cider were provided to warm the body while a program featuring our children in a wonderful Christ-mas play, The Unfriendly Beasts, special music, a carol sing and a visit from Santa and his helpers warmed the spirits of the “standing-room only” crowd.
Our gratitude goes out to the Congregational Development and Worship committees who collaborated with Christian Education, as well as the many individuals who constructed sets, rehearsed children, led crafts, donated desserts, spread the word through publicity, took pictures (which can be seen here), not to mention those from the congregation and community who supported the event by their attendance and inviting others. We also thank the Roxborough 4H club for providing the animals for our live nativity and those who made sure Santa stopped by.
If you would like to be a part of creating the same level of success for the upcoming Easter festival which will be held on Saturday, April 7, please contact Christian Education moderator Arlene Grace or see next month’s edition of Windows for more information.
