Our Church Christmas Program

Tuesday, December 25th, 2018

On December 15th the children of our church held their Christmas program, “The Trees of Christmas.” This year our 4 bigs had readings and Esther played in the hand bell sextet. I was hoping Martha would participate as she had done well in all of the rehearsals but last minute she decided it was too much for her.

I still can’t get over how quickly my 3 bigs have become the “big kids” in these programs. How it was not long ago they were the tinies up front or the ones cowering in the pew with Mama…Gerhardt. They’ve grown so much!

On Sunday October 28th we held our second annual Reformation Sunday Hymn Sing. It was a good time last year  we thought we’d try it again. This is a fun way for us to celebrate our Lutheran heritage and sing some of the wonderful historical hymnody we enjoy in our Lutheran church. A thanks to everyone who was willing to show up and sing around our living room!

Today we also presented a My First Catechism to Gerhardt per our tradition at his age. He’s so proud of himself for how much of it he’s read so far.
