The School Ministry Commiee is thrilled to report that our rst Methodist Day School Christmas Celebraon was a fabulous success! Aer enjoying the precious MDS Christmas Program in the Sanctuary, students and families met in Wesley Hall for Christmas treats and then were welcomed by Santa in the Ignite Worship Space. Santa read Christmas stories to the children and handed out goodie bags for each student. We want to thank all of our volunteers that helped make this event possible. Special thanks to Karen Riesz for the beauful mu-sic provided in the Sanctuary and to Paul Primm for once again delight-ing the children as Santa.Methodist Day School Christmas CelebrationUnited Women of Faith
