O Little Town Of Bethlehem

Yet in thy dark streets shineth, the everlasting light...
The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight
The Lutheran Pastor in Bethlehem has set up this Nativity Scene outside his church this year. A reminder that Jesus was born into a broken, hurting world - and he is with us in the rubble, bringing hope and salvation.
Wherever you are today, may you know the love and peace of the Christ child in your hearts, and may He bring you joy, and hope for the days ahead.
From Bob and myself - Happy Christmas to you and yours.

    1. I found this interesting article on-line. It mentions the rood screens in eastern England including one in Causton, Norfolk. I hope it will work for you.
