	Christmas Parade December 2 at 6:00 pm Save the Date and make plans to join us for Georgetown’s 2017 Home for the Holidays Christmas Parade. This year’s theme is “Light up the Season”. We will certainly do just that by having a Christmas tree float with students as the ornaments, singing the Music Christmas Play songs. Parents are welcomed and needed to walk along the sides of the float – dressed as ornaments if you wish. Think you can make it? Please RSVP so we know how many trailers we will need. Want to help out with the float? Please contact Ginny Squires at (502) 316-4182.

St. John School Christmas Play!! Mark your calendars now!
Sunday, December 17th, at 3pm in the Cardome Chapel.

It's just before Christmas and the tree ornaments have been awakened from their yearly hibernation by the movement of their storage box. It's time! As they begin to prepare for another season on the Christmas tree, they are greeted by a rather strange and "un-Christmassy" ornament: A Hula-Girl. The Star, Snowman, the Angel and others don't understand what she has to do with Christmas and give her a rather cool reception until another significant figure from the mantelpiece shows up to explain to all of them what Christmas is about and how they each have significance in God's amazing plan of redemption through His Son, Jesus.

A humorous and engaging story with delightful songs and a solid salvation message that will teach children what Jesus' coming was all about and remind kids and congregation alike that Christmas is truly a time to celebrate!
