O Presentmas (to the tune of O Christmas Tree)
O Presentmas, O Presentmas,
Bring presents to his Mayorness.
O Presentmas, O Presentmas,
Bring presents to his Mayorness.
Bring them big, or bring them small,
The important thing's to bring them all.
O Presentmas, O Presentmas,
Bring presents to his Mayorness.
Away in a Manger
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,
The little Lord Jesus lay down His sweet head.
The stars in the sky looked down where He lay,
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.
O Little Town of Bethlehem
O little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie!
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by.
Yet in thy dark streets shineth the everlasting Light;
The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight.
For Christ is born of Mary, and gathered all above,
While mortals sleep, the angels keep their watch of wondering love.
O morning stars together, proclaim the holy birth,
And praises sing to God the King, and peace to all on earth!
The First Noel
The First Noel, the Angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the East beyond them far
And to the earth it gave great light
And so it continued both day and night.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
We Three Kings
We three kings of Orient are
Bearing gifts we traverse afar.
Field and fountain, moor and mountain,
Following yonder star.
O star of wonder, star of night,
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to thy perfect Light.
Joy to the World
Joy to the world, the Lord is come!
Let earth receive her King;
Let every heart prepare Him room,
And Heaven and nature sing,
And Heaven and nature sing,
And Heaven, and Heaven, and nature sing.
Joy to the earth, the Savior reigns!
Let men their songs employ;
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat, repeat, the sounding joy.
He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders, wonders, of His love.
We Wish You a Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas;
We wish you a Merry Christmas;
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Good tidings we bring to you and your kin;
Good tidings for Christmas and a Happy New Year.

We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year.

Childhood and Family Ministries: Advent 2013
“Come darkness, Come light” for kids
“Twinkle twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are…”
As you sing the rest of the song in your head or like me, just sing it out
loud; can you picture that star it in your mind? When do we see stars? Not in
the day, but in the night sky. During Advent, as we get ready for Christmas,
think of that baby Jesus coming into this world, born in a humble stable, like
a tiny twinkling star in the night sky. Jesus is the twinkling star that became
the light of the world!
“…And without the dark, everything would be light, and you
would never know when you needed a lightbulb.”, from “The Dark, by Lemony
Snicket.
Look to the right for an Advent Calendar for you. It is a
list of activities and opportunities that is coming.
At the beginning of Advent, Dec 1st, the trees in
Fellowship Hall will be plain. As the trees in our church will fill with
ornaments representing the gifts given all around the world. They will become
“Giving Trees.”
The children of All Saints, including the 1st grade Faith
Adventure, Sunday School, and WOW Wednesday and the children at Hospitality
House, will create the handmade ornaments for the giving trees.
Each Sunday in Advent, you will have the opportunity to give
a gift like a nylon backpack bag for a child at Casa Hogar, the orphanage in
Mexico, or maybe a malaria net. As you give this monetary gift, you are invited
to hang a child-made ornament on a tree to symbolize your gift. The ornaments
will be in baskets to choose from. If you give a gift in honor of someone, also
select an ornament for them to enjoy.
Come December 8th-11:00 am-2:00 pm for the Family
Christmas Festival with gingerbread house making and the Christmas play, “Christmas
Time” written by All Saints author, Aaron Achartz.
Advent Blessings to you,
Let your little light shine,

Dear Parents (a letter from Penny Meschke-Children's Ministries)
Do you remember the dance song by Jordan Pruitt, “We Are
Family“...I got all my sisters with me…we are family...get up everybody and
sing” Well, that is where we are headed this month in Sunday school; it’s a
story about being a family; the sweet story of Ruth. It’s one of my favorites:)
What does it mean “we are family” ? How do we care for one another as a family?
What is God’s family? What is the Body of Christ? These are some of the
questions we will talk about.
Mark your calendars! 56’ers Fall Family Festival is October
26! We are raising awareness for ICA, our local food shelf. We will have food,
games, prizes, live music, and Trunk-o-Treating! Come in costume if you like:)
Maybe dress as a Bible character?
You are invited to come park your car in the south parking
lot and pass out candy, sign up on the Childhood Minisrty bulleting board.
In worship this month, watch for celebrating moments of 3rd
grade bible presentation.
September faith adventures:
3rd graders receive bibles and
0-5 years old have a Music adventure
Kindergarteners receive story bibles.
Blessings,
“We are family”
