| Yes, Mary, Joseph, baby Jesus, angels, shepherds, the Wise Men - they were all at our Annual Christmas Pageant, but so were a princess, a businessman, a Habitat for Humanity and soup kitchen volunteer, and many more! Wow, what a special morning, filled with joyful worship, heart-filled fellowship, and everyone pulling together to make it all happen. First UMC Middletown is blessed to be a community of Christians who know how to tell the story of Christ's coming in to the world in many ways - and not just in worship, but in all that we do in service to God. We invite you to look through our uploaded photos (more coming!), and to remember that we will be celebrating Christmas Eve this coming Thursday afternoon at 5PM, 44 Maynard Street. We hope to see you then, and for those who will be elsewhere, we wish you a blessed, happy and MERRY Christmas, with safe travels, peace, love, and hope for you and for all of God's world. |
