Looking forward to watching God's hands at work tomorrow night as St. Matthew Lutheran School proudly presents "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever!"
Please join us on Friday and/or Saturday night as the Herdman children lead us back to the manger and remind us of God's amazing love for us by sending us the gift of His Son, Jesus! While you are at the show, plan on stopping by "The Christmas Tree Café" for a simple dinner and snack options. The café will be open at 6:00 p.m. to accommodate cast and crew members. The menu options include: "Angel Wings" from Buffalo Wild Wings, Christmas cookies and milk, Wisemen treasure bars, hot large pretzels (warm cheese also available), Gladys' Punching Pretzels, Shepherd's Fluffy Popcorn, and It's "Nacho" Ordinary Christmas Pageant Nachos!
Each night, 20 pieces of various forms of treasure will be hidden in a variety of items, so come seek as the shepherds did, and see if you can locate a precious object!
As we celebrate the Fine Arts this weekend, you will also have an opportunity to view our student art work that is displayed in our Art Show. Mrs. Nancy Flake has put a tremendous amount of effort into transforming our gym into a beautiful art museum so please come and view your children's master pieces! Also, our Scholastic Book Fair is open for business before and after each show, so please stop by and look at all the amazing literary selections that are available for purchase.
So Come Let Us Adore Him this weekend and ALWAYS!
