CHRISTMAS DVD’s IN CHURCH MEDIA LIBRARY

for Children & Families

The Legend of the Candy Cane

Discover a fascinating story of hope and the

hidden meaning of a favorite Christmas

candy – the candy cane.

The Toy That Saved Christmas, Veggie Tales

A toy maker has convinced all of the children that

“Christmas is when you get stuff...and more is even

better”. But one brave toy decides to take matters in his

own hands and remind everyone that

“Christmas isn’t about getting, it’s about giving.”

The Church Staff would like to say “thank you” for the Christmas

bonuses, goodies and kinds deeds done during the Christmas season. We

pray that God will bless each one of you in the coming year.

Love in Christ,

Brian, Jeff, David, Daniel, Crystal, Angela, and Trena.
