Members and Friends of Austin Mennonite Church We will be providing a Christmas Eve Candlelight Service at 7pm on Friday, Dec 24. This experience will enable us to hear again the story of events surrounding the birth of Jesus. The service will include scriptures, songs, and readings selected to heighten our perceptions of the mystery and wonder of Christmas.and candles to represent the light God has given to us. Everyone is welcome to share in this service. If you will be able to attend and would like to participate in the candlelight service, please let me know and I will include you in the presentation. Also, if anyone has any life-size figures and a cradle or manger which could be used on this evening, please inform me and I will arrange to transport them to the church beforehand. These do not need to be traditional nativity figures. And, any animal figures can be used as well. I pray you will be gently embraced by the magnificence of God's provision for our salvation. May it go well with you. Sincerely, Garland Robertson ...always hold firmly to the thought that each one of us can do something to bring some portion of misery to an end
