Copies of the 2014 Christmas Wish List are on the table
in the Narthex. Please note that the children at Bethany
are teenagers. Specific gift items are included on the
Christmas Wish List or if you prefer, the children love to
receive gift cards to department stores, craft stores, area
malls, etc. Please choose age-appropriate gifts with
consideration for parental warnings, modest clothing and
safety. The gifts should not be wrapped since Bethany’s
staff will do that. Just drop them in the box wrapped in
Christmas paper in the Narthex.
In the same region there were some shepherds staying out in the fields and keeping watch over their flock at night. And an angel of the Lord suddenly stood near them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were terribly frightened. And so the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people; for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. — Luke 2:8-11 (NASV)
