It is really hard to take photos outside in the dark when your hands are freezing.  So there are only a few.

Our church had a Christmas Fun Night out in the parking lot.  There was a petting zoo, a throw-the-snowball-at-the-Grinch game, a fire pit, a hot cocoa and cookies tent, and later on in the evening there was singing.  Indoors there were some crafts for kids and a photo op.

I didn’t get a picture of the live nativity… that included pigs?
But here is a photo to prove there were some animals.

Stewart, Nigel, and Marie sang with the adult choir.  Johanna and Katriel sang with the children’s choir.  Tab is in an in between age, but she had more than enough fun hanging out with friends. 

And for the first time since we started attending in 2001 there were lights on the giant pine tree out front that went on at the end of the gathering.
