 Our Children at Christmas 



The holiday season brings many activities to our Meeting. Children in our First Day School begin by participating in Godly Play about the Christmas Story. Following that, they begin to make decorations for our very special Christmas tree, which we place out on the porch of our Schoolhouse. The most unique feature of our tree is the food for the birds and animals that the children work into pine cones smeared with peanut butter. Another colorful, yet nutritious item are the apple rings that they prepare to dangle on the pine branches. But most of all, the tree comes alive with their very special handmade ornaments.

But the holiday spirit doesn’t stop with decorating our tree. Children make cookies to be eaten after our annual Christmas program.
