“Bethlehem’s Busy” will be held Wednesday, December 16 from 6:30pm-8:30pm

Children’s Ministry Christmas Event

Imagine Friendship Hall turned into a bustling
market place of Bible times. Now imagine that
each market booth from perfumery to bakery has
a message that points children to Jesus through
interactive object lessons, crafts and drama. This
was the scene of last year’s Children’s Ministry
Christmas event, and we’re getting ready for this
year’s sequel.
“Bethlehem’s Busy” will be held Wednesday,
December 16th from 6:30—8:30 p.m.
at First Presbytarian Church Lake Placid
This year we are including a potter, cobbler and
cloth merchant, in addition to some of the
favorites from last year. To create the “busy—No
Room at the Inn” feeling, we need folks willing to
dress in Bible Times costume and be a part of the
setting by simply strolling in the marketplace.
Last year we had nearly 100 children
attending. We would love to reach even more
children in our community, so please plan on
being a part of this and inviting the children or
grandchildren of friends, neighbors and the
classmates of your children.

Congratulations!

What Christmas Is All About

What Christmas Is All About

Christmas will always be for us

A time to reflect on Christ

The gift God gave to all the world

Was the gift of His life

We know Christmas is not about tinsel

Nor fancy Christmas wreaths

Nor is it about all the decorations

That adorns our Christmas trees

And it’s not about Holly or Mistletoe

Hanging from our doors

Nor is it about the gifts that are left

By the jolly Santa Claus

Christmas is more than all of this
And the only reason why

We celebrate Christ’s birth together

And the wonder of His life

So remember as you celebrate

Just what it’s all about

And invite the Lord to join with you

Instead of leaving Him out

For He will always be the reason

We celebrate this day

No substitute the world may offer

Can take that meaning away
