Pastor Ken Tubbesing welcomed visitors and members to the 5:00 p.m., December 24, 2016 MLC Christmas Eve Program given by the children of the Sunday School.

The program included a play entitled “A Tree Lot Christmas – Joining Jesus’ Family Tree”. The play included compassionate and fun-loving kids demonstrating the powerful love of Christ to others. Like the evergreen trees the kids were selling in their play, we are forever rooted and growing in Christ’s love and as believers we are a part of God’s family tree!   The play concluded with the story of the Nativity.
