This Advent and Christmas season, Zum Zone would like to present Christmas Around the World during the 10:10 a.m. Hour on November 30th. Children will experience Christmas customs from around the world. The main idea is that God sent Jesus into the world to bring peace to all people and all nations. Today, Christians from all over the world prepare for and celebrate the birth of God’s Son, Jesus. In order for this program to be successful, we need additional volunteers to act as shepherds. They will lead the children to two stations each week. These stations include Story, art, cooking, games and science. Please sign up at the table outside of the café. If you have any questions, call Yolanda Hutton at 873-2623.]]>http://www.zumc.org/znews/index.php?entry=entry081117-0916582008-11-17T00:00:00Z2008-11-17T00:00:00Z“The Huddle” New Men’s Group “The Huddle” What is "The Huddle"?
