PRESENTATION BY CHILDREN & YOUTH MINISTRY
A Christmas Yarn Musical
At Unique Gifts from Luxurious Yarns (U.G.L.Y.), ugly is beautiful! At the factory of the world’s leading supplier of ugly Christmas sweaters, founder Sam Ebenezer pulls all the strings to make sure no stitch is dropped. With a huge order looming to get out the day before Christmas, the team of Bob Cratchit (“that’s pronounced Crochet”), Tiny Tom and others weave together a plan of attack, while Sam encounters three mysterious visitors who not only help overcome some ugly obstacles, but bring the beautiful good news of Christmas! With apologies to a well-loved Christmas Carol, don your ugliest Christmas sweater, and have a dickens of a good time with A Christmas Yarn!

Children and Youth Ministry
This week we learned about David and Goliath. The kids were amazed at how tall Goliath was estimated to be. We have a very rough idea of his height in the hall by the Grace Room if you’d like to compare yourself to Goliath’s height. As I was measuring the kids against Goliath’s height we were talking about how scary he must have been. It really made me think about whether I would have the faith to trust God in that situation. I’d like to say absolutely I would but that’s easier said than done when we are facing our giants, isn’t it? However, I’d like to quote Veggie Tales and say that “God is bigger than the boogie man” as a reminder to all of us that He is bigger than ANY Goliath we come up against.
You need to check out the form on this little guy in the picture as he tries to take out Goliath with his “slingshot”. He was the only one to get the “rock” through the hole and actually did it several times!
