North Broward church
performs cosmic Christmas

POMPANO BEACH, Florida—The North Broward congregation celebrated the 2001 Advent season with praise, worship and outreach.

The drama ministry team performed Cosmic Christmas, adapted from a story by Max Lucado, Dec. 1 during the worship service, which is conducted at Parkway United Methodist Church.

On Dec. 23 they gave an encore presentation for the Parkway congregation.

In a Dec. 22 service celebrating the birth of our Savior, members presented "Christmas Presents" to the congregation. Gifts of music, song, sign language, oral interpretation and dramatization were presented by a wide range of participants, including our youths and young adults.

The occasion was complemented by a praise and worship service including Scripture narrative and seasonal hymns, a motivational message from Pastor Larry Hinkle and a potluck dinner.

In further outreach projects, members collected and assembled 40 shoe boxes in support of Project Christmas Child, sponsored by Samaritan’s Purse, and continued to assist the St. Laurence Homeless Shelter.

Boots Persson roasted 13 turkeys for the Christmas meal and the worship team led by Charles Nickert and his angels (Carolyn Kieswetter, Audrey Huntley and Lori Grossfeld) presented a 45-minute worship service at the shelter on Christmas morning. Charles D. Nickert.
