Organizations
The children and teens at the Easton Wesleyan Church have been working hard for the last two months on their Christmas Program. This year they are doing a musical comedy called “Check out That Star,” where a woman named O’Hare Epstein-Barr is out to destroy every religious display in her city. When she tries to destroy a church creche, she falls asleep and finds herself back in time when Jesus was being born, and discovers for herself the real meaning of Christmas. As she goes back in time, the scenery on stage revolves to reveal the city of Bethlehem. The children tell the story to O’Hare through song and acting. Everyone is invited to come out and discover the real reason why there was no room at the inn. So come join us for a show on Sunday, Dec. 16, at 10:45 a.m. or 6 p.m.
All Easton senior citizens are invited to attend the annual Christmas dinner at the Easton Elementary School cafeteria Thursday, Dec. 13, beginning at 12:30 p.m. put on by the Easton School Department. Enjoy good food and good socializing with good people.
