Legacy of Love
The
Center Barnstead Christian Church would like to invite you to see our
Christmas Musical Program, “Legacy of Love”. What kind of legacy do you
want to leave? God left us the ultimate legacy of love, the gift of His
Son, Jesus. This Christmas musical takes you through the lives of seven
classmates as they compete in the “Leave a Mark” contest to win a prize
for their beloved teacher, Mr. Thompson. Together they will discover the
bigger picture of Christ’s love and exactly how to minister to others.
Come
and bring the family Sunday, December 13th at 6:00 PM. The Center
Barnstead Christian Church is located on Route 126, next to the Town
Hall. For more information, please call the church at 269-8831.
Festival Of Trees
The
Festival of Trees was an enormous success, with over 200 adults and 100
children participating in the holiday activities. The event raised
$1,350 for the local food pantries with each of the three towns
receiving $450 each.
We
would like to thank everyone who participated in the Festival of Trees,
including Santa for sharing his time with the children and their
families.
Friday
evening the Prospect Mountain High School (PMHS) Tri-M Music Honor
Society and select chorus sang Christmas carols around the fire; they
were absolutely fabulous. The National Honor Society also from
PMHS generously gave of their time throughout the entire event
collecting admissions, which made everything run smoothly.
Please support the 20 businesses and organizations which helped to make
this First Festival of Trees a success. They can be found on our website
