Nativity at PCW Warms Hearts

The temperature may have registered freezing, but hearts were warmed by the Live Nativity at the Presbyterian Church in Westfield (PCW) on Sunday afternoon. Carolers from the Chancel Choir provided live, sing-along music while children petted, brushed and fed a cow, donkey, sheep and a goat at the petting zoo. Students from the Confirmation Class of 2014 served hot chocolate and cookies.

Westminster Hall and the church’s elaborately decorated Sanctuary were open for the public to view the Christmas decorations while warming their hands and feet.

The Rev. Dr. Ray Roberts read the Christmas story from the Bible.

The church’s Christmas season’s celebration continues with Saturdays’ 5 p.m. Come-As-You-Are services, the 8 and 10 a.m. Sunday services and the 9:45 a.m. contemporary services known as Wired4Worship. After the Sunday morning 10 a.m. services in December, an informal soup and bread lunch is provided by the Fellowship Commission.

Want to have a meditative, quiet half hour of thanking God for sending his son to us? Join us on Tuesday night, Dec. 17 in the Chapel at 7:00 – 7:30 p.m. for communion and prayer.

Christmas Eve features special music at the following services: 
5 p.m. children’s service
8 p.m. and 11p.m. candlelight services in the Sanctuary.
