Christmas Eve, 2014
From “Hamlet”
by William Shakespeare
Some say that ever ‘gainst that season comes
Wherein our Saviour’s birth is celebrated,
The bird of dawning singeth all night long:
And then, they say, no spirit can walk abroad;
The nights are wholesome; then no planets strike,
No fairy takes, nor witch hath power to charm;
So hallow’d and so gracious is the time.
On behalf of the staff and lay leadership of St. Paul’s UMC, I wish you and yours a Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year.
Grace and Peace,
Magrey

CHRISTMAS EVE SERVICE TONIGHT
Join us for the celebration of Christ’s birth for our annual Christmas Eve service at 5:30pm. It will feature a rhyming sermon including many favorite characters from classic holiday films. For the first time, an overflow live video feed will be available in the dining hall to make room for people no matter how large the crowd. As an act of hospitality, we invite you to park your car as far away as you are comfortable in walking in order to accommodate the hundreds of guests we will have tonight.

In observance of the Christmas holiday, the office will be closed on Friday, December 26. Magrey and the girls will be out of town visiting family in Florida from December 30 to January 5, so the Mid-Week Message will resume during the week of January 11.
