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 Youth Handbell Choir |
The youth choir singing a beautiful anthem in three part harmony! |
The children's choir sang out beautifully! |
Angels were everywhere |
Mary waiting to receive the news |
The angel Gabriel receives our Jesus |
Mary, Joseph and the animals with the baby Jesus |
All the heavenly host |
Shepherds at the manger with the holy family |
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 |
PEACE
From all of us at St. Paul's - Merry Christmas!
