The annual Christmas Pageant, “The Gift” will be held on December 11. It will be held at 4:00 pm in the Church with a party following in the Common Room. Rusty Booth is doing a wonderful job of directing the show. He has been the pageant director for the past five years, and has been working hard with the students and staff these last weeks. All of the church school students play a part in the pageant. The preschoolers through sixth graders are working hard on their parts and songs. The seventh and eighth graders are writing and practicing the introduction, while the senior high are coaches, stage crew, or ushers.

During church school on December 18, the fifth through twelve grade students will be visiting The Fairfax, The Westminster, and shut-ins. They will be delivering gift bags with items made by all of the church school students.

Participants should meet in the Vestry House following the 9:00 am service. Following the visits, students will return to classrooms A and B for a pizza party. Permission slips will be handed out during church school early in December. Please have the student bring the permission slip and $3.00 for pizza.

If anyone knows someone who would enjoy a visit or basket, please call Frances Sessums at 703-339-6572. It would be great to include additional people!
