Angels! A Shepherd and a Wise One! Mary and the Baby! This past Sunday the children’s class taught us a new song they have been learning, In Bethlehem a Babe Was Born (written by a Quaker, Barbara Bennett Mays!) They entered the worship room in costume, gleefully proceeding to gather around the mother and child at the front. Accompanied by guitar, flute, and a chorus of supportive adults, it was a moment to remember. The kids are already looking forward to next year!
