A Christmas Service in the German Language: Sunday, Jan. 4 at 5:45 p.m.

This year, our German Christmas Service will be held Sunday, January 4 at 5:45 pm. The service begins with prelude music and candle lighting. The service will be led by Pastor Maxon with special music by Ted and Sarajane Williams, harp and guitar duo as well as guest vocalists to lead the carols in German.

Even if you do not speak German, this is a very special service of tradition and beauty. A German cookie fellowship will follow.
If you are able to help in the service, your help makes visitors feel welcomed and makes the evening a success. We need volunteers for:

· Cookie Baking- sign-up with Kathy Mintzer

· Serving as an Usher or Greeter

· Helping set-up and take down Luminaries

· Candle lighting as an Acolyte

· Sanctuary Clean-up and set-up/unlocking

Please contact Kathy Mintzer 610-393-8484, kmintzer1939@gmail.com or Tim Ginder mmdirector@stjohnsemmaus.org with for any questions
