A celebration of the story of the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ - the children and youth of St. Paul's

We hope all who wished to were able to attend a service on Christmas Eve.  Whether you were at St. Paul's or elsewhere, we know that coming together with a community of believers on this holy night is a powerful and important part of the year for many people.  At the 5:00 PM service at St. Paul's, we invite the children and youth to be the ones who share the story of the birth of Jesus.  We share here with you these beautiful photographs (taken by our multi-talented sexton Andrew Brundrett) to allow you a peek into this experience.  May your holidays be filled with laughter, wonder and joy as ours were during this pageant.

The church beautifully decorated for the services - thanks to our Altar guild and many who assisted them.

The children's choir sang out beautifully!

Angels were everywhere

All the heavenly host

The Wise Men, the Magi traveled from afar - though they will not arrive until January 6th, we remember them tonight as they are on the journey too

Just two of our many talented singers who added to the evening

An unexpected visitor

And there was laughter!

Beautiful girls when the story was complete
