Springfield’s Santa Claus Club has been giving gifts for many years to children and seniors. We’re going to help out this year. Please bring gifts (unwrapped) to church on Dec. 4 or 11. For kids, toys, games, and books are needed. For seniors, socks, mens t-shirts, and women’s nightgowns would be good. Thank you!

The celebration of Christmas was considered by the English Puritans to be so heretical that they sought to curtail all festivities by an act of Parliament in 1644. Christmas was outlawed in Massachusetts for many years. Interesting: How theologically dangerous might it be to celebrate God’s coming to earth as an infant? And why does this metaphor, this story of birth, still resonate with us today? An advent/Christmas celebration. Beautiful music. Bring friends and relations!
