The congregation gathered today, around a huge poinsettia Christmas tree, for its 2nd Annual Christmas Breakfast and for its 2nd Annual "Lessons and Carols" service. The continental breakfast featured pastries and bagels from our neighboring Panera Bread. The worship service included the reading of seven scripture lessons, by a variety of individuals, young and old, the singing of Christmas carols, ministry by several musicians, and a message from Pastor Hamstra entitled "The Giver and the Gift."
