“And while they were there, the time came for her to give birth. And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.”
Luke 2:6-7
Away in a Manger
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,
The little Lord Jesus lay down His sweet head.
The stars in the sky looked down where he lay,
The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay.
The cattle are lowing the baby awakes, but little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes;
I love thee Lord Jesus, look down from the sky
And stay by my cradle till morning is nigh.
Be near me Lord Jesus, I ask thee to stay
Close by me forever, and love me, I pray;
Bless all the dear children in thy tender care,
And fit us for heaven to live with thee there.
United Methodist Hymnal, 1989; Lyrics, Anonymous; Music, James Murray, 1887
The Gathering Room
The Women’s Ministry is excited to announce the opening of “The Gathering Room”. Do you need a quiet place to pray? to read? to study? to have a conversation with a friend? a place to meet with your small group? have a cup of coffee or tea? meditate? The Gathering Room might be the place you are searching for. It is located in the hallway outside of the Multipurpose Room next to the Children’s Ministry Coordinators’ offices. It is open when the church is open. There are devotions for reading and other spiritual growth books available for your use while in the room if you need them. Go by and check it out. We’ll bet once you enter, you might want to stay a while!
