22 December Christmas Caroling |
Sister Zurcher-Kuhn-Wilson-Edgington-Wynder
We carried on our Christmas caroling tradition by singing to 18 new neighbors.
We gave them all a chocolate from our Celebrations candies and a card with our picture and address.
They were very surprised because Christmas carolers in the UK are singing for money.
They all tried to give us money but we gave them a sweet treat instead.

Christmas Eve at 11:30 p.m. we attended a service at the St. Peter's Church

Inside they had life size manikins of Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus |

also shepherds |

and 3 Wisemen with a camel |

The birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ is the reason for the season.
It was such a blessing to be serving Him each day!
We had a glorious simple Christmas.
