Warda Rings in Christmas With Last Minute Gift Ideas, Light Displays
If you’re looking for some good last-minute Christmas gifts, the ladies at Holy Cross have a great selection of RADA Cutlery available. They also have beautiful boxed Christmas cards and the newest cookbook, which has favorite recipes from church members and also includes some old favorites. You can stop by the church office to purchase any of these items.
It’s finally colder and feeling more like Christmas. If you want to drive around and see some great Christmas lights, the folks around the Northrup and Serbin areas are quite festive and have some gorgeous displays. Be sure to stop in and see the beautiful elevated double Christmas trees in the Serbin church—this is also one of the painted churches
Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas as we celebrate the birth of our Savior
