Our class Christmas party Saturday was a special evening shared together.  It was well attended and full of food, fun, and fellowship.  We enjoyed a good meal catered by Los Cucos, followed by a devotional led by Paul Nielsen, a fun game, desserts, scripture reading, and hymns led by Carolyn Clark.  Below is the scripture sharing we enjoyed during our time together.   You are encouraged to use them with your friends and family as you gather together for Christmas celebrations.
