Live Wires
LIVE WIRES

🎉 Live Wires Is Back!

Let's gather for fellowship in our Fellowship Hall at 9:00 AM on Thursday, December 19th!

While the Live Wires are mostly "Mature Chestnut Members," everyone is invited, including our neighbors, friends, and associates.

The format will be similar to our past Live Wire events except there will be:

❌ No full breakfast menu
💸 No fixed charge

Instead, enjoy some simple "Goodies" 🍩🍊:
  • Donuts & Fruit Cups
  • Orange Juice, Water, & Coffee (Regular & Decaf)
Jerry Lawson will open with a devotional. 🙏

Notices on registration will be published so we can plan for room setup and quantities of "Goodies."

📝 Sign-up sheet is posted on the bulletin board by the Food Pantry Door.

🗓️ Deadline for signing up is Sunday, December 15th!

Looking forward to seeing you there! 😊

Christmas Cantata
CHRISTMAS CANTATA

🎄 Chestnut Memorial United Methodist Church Presents:

This is Christmas
Celebrating the Heart of Christmas

📅 Sunday, December 22
🕚 11:00 AM

Just hearing the word "Christmas" brings thoughts of joy to mind:

🎁 Family gatherings; exchanging gifts; enjoying meals with relatives, friends, and co-workers;
🎄 Filling the home with lights, trees, candles, and greenery;
🎶 And listening to seasonal music both at home and at church.

Christmas is the season of joy, and, for those who celebrate the birth of Christ, Christmas is the season of love coming to earth.

Christmas is about a child-Jesus! THIS is Christmas.

In this cantata, the story is told through:

🎼 Familiar music,
🎶 Seasonal carols,
🎵 And inspired melodies.

The sole intent of this cantata is to draw attention to that Child, the King sent to earth to redeem the world, for THIS is the heart of Christmas!
