The Bowsman United Church held a Christmas Eve Service and Concert on December 24, 2012.
\nTo open our service and our hearts to this special time of year, Judy Melnechuk used her gift to perform a solo of \u201cO Holy Night\u201d. <\/p>\n

The service moved into the lighting of the Christ candle and the congregation sang the third verse of \u201cO Little Town of Bethlehem\u201d.<\/p>\n

The choir further prepared our hearts and sang the Anthem \u201cUnto Us A Child Is Born.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The choir once again brought the message of this night to everyone in the form of the song \u201cHoly is the New Born Child\u201d.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

At this time the drama \u201cWhat Shall We Do With This Baby?\u201d was performed. What shall we do with this baby? This is the question that has echoed through time.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/br>Nothing is more helpless and needy than an infant alone. Without human help a baby alone cannot thrive or survive. What shall we do with this baby indeed! <\/p>\n

<\/br>\"\"<\/a>
\n<\/br>The wise men did come to worship, but they did not come empty handed. The gifts they brought were surely an investment for the future needs of a growing child. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n<\/br>
\nSo the question will echo on. What shall we do with this baby? And each of us will answer it in our own way.<\/p>\n

Rev. Highmoor invited all forward to the table to join in holy communion. <\/p>\n

<\/br>In the beauty of candle light the congregation sang the hymn \u201cSilent Night\u201d.<\/p>\n
