Reading for older  "Although our society tries to remove Jesus from the Christmas holiday, he's the sole reason for its existence.  Despite what retailers want you to believe, Christmas would still happen without overloaded shopping carts and maxed-out credit cards. As followers of Jesus, our efforts to honor the true meaning of Christmas do battle with our consumer culture. The temptation to overindulge our children isn't limited to December, though. All year long, kids of all ages are bombarded by ads for "must-have" items that promise fun, excitement, and even popularity.  The result? Kids can become selfish and self-centered, and families' priorities can shift from heavenly things to earthly things. Here are some tips for taming the materialism monster this Christmas so you can concentrate on the good news of Jesus' birth" (December newsletter) -from December's newsletter- SET-UP Sunday, November 29 right after second service · Stable and Inn Monday, December 7 from 8:30am - 11:00am · Construct the tents, and move all decorations into the court.   DECORATING  Tuesday, December 8 from 5:30pm - 7:30pm Thursday, December 10 from 5:30pm – 7:30pm · Organizing and placing decorative items around all tents   ALSO, COLLECTING THESE ITEMS •greens (plants/ferns) • stoneware (pots, jugs or stones) Please mark your items with your name and drop them off in the auditorium.  You can pick them up from designated tables after the event.
