Can’t find the perfect gift for someone who has everything? Or need a way to honor someone you love or remember your loved one on his/her birthday? You could remember them with a donation to purchase a window for the education building. The session has approved to replace all of the windows in the education building before cold weather hits again. The windows are not energy efficient and drafty to say the least. The quote received is $325 per window. With your donation, we will put your loved ones name on a plaque remembering them and send notification to the individual or family. If you would like to donate to the window fund please mark your donation, Window Fund. Also, provide the information to be placed on the plaque.

Only one of the four gospels has the story of King Herod being fearful when he learned from the wise men that a special baby had been born. The wise men asked, “Where is the child who has been born king of the Jews? For we observed his star at its rising, and have come to pay him homage.” Shocked and threatened by their query, Herod pretended to want to pay his respects to the newborn himself. He asked the wise men to return and tell him where the child was. Then he ordered his soldiers to kill every male child age 2 and under. That ancient holocaust is often called the Slaughter of the Innocents, or the Massacre of the Infants.
Which gospel contains the shocking story?
A. Matthew B. Mark C. Luke D. John

These trees, which keep their green leaves year-round, are symbolic of Christmas, eternal life and God’s everlasting love. In the Bible, evergreen trees are called the “cedars of Lebanon,” suggesting growth (Psalm 92:12), height (Amos 2:9), fragrance (Hosea 14:6) and steadfast faith.
