It’s not too late for your children to join in the fun of our Live-Animal Christmas Pageant! This Sunday during Worship, Community Church in Short Hills invites families to participate in its annual Christmas Pageant. All children in attendance are welcome to take part, as parents join the congregation in watching the performance during Family Worship at 10:30am. Participants should be at Community Church for a rehearsal at 8:45am, and Worship begins at 10:30am. Following the Pageant, a petting zoo with the donkey, sheep, goats and other animals is set up for children, with cake, cookies and marshmallows around an open fire. Visit www.CommunityChurch.org for more information and to sign up children in advance.

Community Church continues its Christmas celebration with Candlelight Christmas Eve Worship at 5pm on December 24. Worship on Christmas Eve is a family-friendly, spiritual, candlelit service of classic carols, reading of the Christmas story and unison raising of our votives to Silent Night.
