St. Jude presents "Give thanks. Walk."
The simple act of walking is something many take for granted everyday. No one knows that more than Craig and Katie Witsoe and Doug Brooks. The Witsoes’ 4-year-old son, Sean is a patient at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital®, suffering from medulloblastoma, a pediatric brain tumor that left him without the ability to walk. After several surgeries to remove the tumor and intensive treatments, Sean can now take those steps that his parents never thought they would see again.
Doug Brooks, president and CEO of Brinker International (Chili’s® Grill & Bar, On The Border Mexican Grill & Cantina®, Maggiano’s Little Italy®) also cherishes the ability to walk again, after a car hit him while running, leaving him with an amputated left leg. Through the help of a prosthetic leg, Doug can return to his normal and active lifestyle.
The Witsoes, Doug and Chili’s Grill & Bar, are wholeheartedly supporting the upcoming, Give thanks. Walk. a 5K benefit walk suppo | Lineage Power headquarters

The Gifts of the Magi
Don't miss PFAMILY ARTS holiday celebration in their new theatre with THE GIFTS OF THE MAGI. A heart-warming, captivating musical treat, drawn from two short stories by the immortal O. Henry. The work is warmed by sentiment and humor, filled with lilting songs, and certain to please audiences of all ages.
It is Christmas in New York, but for two young lovers, Jim and Della, the prospects are bleak, as both are out of work and penniless. But as those familiar with the famous O. Henry story are aware, their dilemma is solved when both part with their most precious possessions (she her beautiful long hair, he his heirloom pocket watch) in order to buy presents for each other thereby creating, at least for a magical moment, an aura of warmth and giving in the cold, impersonal winter city. | PFAMily Arts Theatre

A CHRISTMAS STORY
THEATRE COPPELL Presents:
A CHRISTMAS STORY – by Jean Shepherd. Adapted by Philip Grecian.
Nine-year-old Ralphie Parker wants a Red Ryder BB gun for Christmas. He pleads his case before his mother, his teacher, and even Santa Claus himself, but the consistent response is, “You’ll shoot your eye out!” All the nostalgic elements of the popular movie are here: the exploding furnace; Scut Farkas, the school bully; the boys’ experiment with a wet tongue on a cold lamppost; the Little Orphan Annie decoder pin & Ralphie’s father winning a lamp shaped like a woman’s leg. Truly a holiday classic!
Performances are December 4th thru 20th at 8:00 p.m. Fridays & Saturdays, with Sunday matinees at 2:30 p.m. There will also be one special matinee performance on Saturday, December 19th at 3:00 p.m. Tickets are $14 ($12 for seniors & students) & may be purchased online at www.TheatreCoppell.com or by calling the box office at (972) 745-7719. | Theatre Coppell

A CHRISTMAS STORY
THEATRE COPPELL Presents:
A CHRISTMAS STORY – by Jean Shepherd. Adapted by Philip Grecian.
Nine-year-old Ralphie Parker wants a Red Ryder BB gun for Christmas. He pleads his case before his mother, his teacher, and even Santa Claus himself, but the consistent response is, “You’ll shoot your eye out!” All the nostalgic elements of the popular movie are here: the exploding furnace; Scut Farkas, the school bully; the boys’ experiment with a wet tongue on a cold lamppost; the Little Orphan Annie decoder pin & Ralphie’s father winning a lamp shaped like a woman’s leg. Truly a holiday classic!
Performances are December 4th thru 20th at 8:00 p.m. Fridays & Saturdays, with Sunday matinees at 2:30 p.m. There will also be one special matinee performance on Saturday, December 19th at 3:00 p.m. Tickets are $14 ($12 for seniors & students) & may be purchased online at www.TheatreCoppell.com or by calling the box office at (972) 745-7719. | Theatre Coppell

A CHRISTMAS STORY – by Jean Shepherd. Adapted by Philip Grecian.
Nine-year-old Ralphie Parker wants a Red Ryder BB gun for Christmas. He pleads his case before his mother, his teacher, and even Santa Claus himself, but the consistent response is, “You’ll shoot your eye out!” All the nostalgic elements of the popular movie are here: the exploding furnace; Scut Farkas, the school bully; the boys’ experiment with a wet tongue on a cold lamppost; the Little Orphan Annie decoder pin & Ralphie’s father winning a lamp shaped like a woman’s leg. Truly a holiday classic!
Performances are December 4th thru 20th at 8:00 p.m. Fridays & Saturdays, with Sunday matinees at 2:30 p.m. There will also be one special matinee performance on Saturday, December 19th at 3:00 p.m. Tickets are $14 ($12 for seniors & students) & may be purchased online at www.TheatreCoppell.com or by calling the box office at (972) 745-7719. | Theatre Coppell

Jazz Vespers with Neeki Bey
Sunday, December 6 at 6 p.m.
Popular local musician Neeki Bey will lead a special Vespers service built around music coming from within the jazz and blues traditions. The Jazz Vespers Service is itself a synthesis of several traditions, each finding a unifying voice through the unique musical heritage called jazz. Jazz music emerges as a balm that has the power to heal and inspire, capturing the hope of reconciliation. Jazz reminds us who we are and where we have come from, while inspiring us into the reality of who we can become in the Risen Christ. Jazz is the music of the social gospel of Jesus Christ. A time of community will be offered before and after the service; coffee, other beverages and snacks will be served. | Cathedral of Hope UCC

A CHRISTMAS STORY
THEATRE COPPELL Presents:
A CHRISTMAS STORY – by Jean Shepherd. Adapted by Philip Grecian.
Nine-year-old Ralphie Parker wants a Red Ryder BB gun for Christmas. He pleads his case before his mother, his teacher, and even Santa Claus himself, but the consistent response is, “You’ll shoot your eye out!” All the nostalgic elements of the popular movie are here: the exploding furnace; Scut Farkas, the school bully; the boys’ experiment with a wet tongue on a cold lamppost; the Little Orphan Annie decoder pin & Ralphie’s father winning a lamp shaped like a woman’s leg. Truly a holiday classic!
Performances are December 4th thru 20th at 8:00 p.m. Fridays & Saturdays, with Sunday matinees at 2:30 p.m. There will also be one special matinee performance on Saturday, December 19th at 3:00 p.m. Tickets are $14 ($12 for seniors & students) & may be purchased online at www.TheatreCoppell.com or by calling the box office at (972) 745-7719. | Theatre Coppell

A CHRISTMAS STORY
THEATRE COPPELL Presents:
A CHRISTMAS STORY – by Jean Shepherd. Adapted by Philip Grecian.
Nine-year-old Ralphie Parker wants a Red Ryder BB gun for Christmas. He pleads his case before his mother, his teacher, and even Santa Claus himself, but the consistent response is, “You’ll shoot your eye out!” All the nostalgic elements of the popular movie are here: the exploding furnace; Scut Farkas, the school bully; the boys’ experiment with a wet tongue on a cold lamppost; the Little Orphan Annie decoder pin & Ralphie’s father winning a lamp shaped like a woman’s leg. Truly a holiday classic!
Performances are December 4th thru 20th at 8:00 p.m. Fridays & Saturdays, with Sunday matinees at 2:30 p.m. There will also be one special matinee performance on Saturday, December 19th at 3:00 p.m. Tickets are $14 ($12 for seniors & students) & may be purchased online at www.TheatreCoppell.com or by calling the box office at (972) 745-7719. | Theatre Coppell

A CHRISTMAS STORY
THEATRE COPPELL Presents:
A CHRISTMAS STORY – by Jean Shepherd. Adapted by Philip Grecian.
Nine-year-old Ralphie Parker wants a Red Ryder BB gun for Christmas. He pleads his case before his mother, his teacher, and even Santa Claus himself, but the consistent response is, “You’ll shoot your eye out!” All the nostalgic elements of the popular movie are here: the exploding furnace; Scut Farkas, the school bully; the boys’ experiment with a wet tongue on a cold lamppost; the Little Orphan Annie decoder pin & Ralphie’s father winning a lamp shaped like a woman’s leg. Truly a holiday classic!
Performances are December 4th thru 20th at 8:00 p.m. Fridays & Saturdays, with Sunday matinees at 2:30 p.m. There will also be one special matinee performance on Saturday, December 19th at 3:00 p.m. Tickets are $14 ($12 for seniors & students) & may be purchased online at www.TheatreCoppell.com or by calling the box office at (972) 745-7719. | Theatre Coppell

A service of Lessons and Carols
by Benjamin Harlan
Presented by Grace Bible Church Sanctuary Choir
The traditional Festival of Lessons and Carols was first held on Christmas Eve in 1918 at King’s College in Cambridge, England. The next year the Order of Service was revised and from then on the service has always begun with the hymn, “Once in Royal David’s City.” In the years to follow, carols were often changed and new carols were introduced, but the lessons and prayers have remained virtually intact from the beginning.
The idea for a service of Lessons and Carols originated in 1880 when the Archbishop of Canterbury put together a service for Christmas Eve. The King’s College service became an accepted model and has been adapted again and again by other churches around the world.
The main theme of the Service of Lessons and Carols is “the loving purposes of God” presented through the scripture readings. These readings provide both the structural pattern a | Grace Bible Church

Blue Christmas
Feeling blue this Christmas?
Christmas isn't a joyful time for everyone. There's still grief, there's still difficulty, even in December.
If you're just not feeling it this year, maybe our Blue Christmas worship service is for you.
At 7:00 p.m. on Sunday, December 20, we will have a time of music and prayer, and a message of hope. Prayer partners will be available during and after the service.
Reverend Liz Moen will be leading this special service and will be delivering the message titled "We Need This Baby." The focus of the evening is to try and find a glimmer of hope or light in the midst of the darkness. | Aldersgate United Methodist Church
