A unique way to tell the Christmas story
On Sunday, December 17, the youth of Ivy Chapel presented the annual Christmas pageant – with a twist. The kids told the familiar story of Mary and Joseph's journey, leading to the whole world's discovery of the miracle of Jesus' birth, and punctuated it with jokes about aliens and other pop culture references. Thanks to Linda Lowry for her hard work pulling the pageant together in what seems to be a shorter and shorter time every year, and to all of the parents who helped make it happen. And, of course, congratulations to all of the kids who turned in such ...
Trunk or Treat, Ivy Chapel Style!
Trunk or Treat has been one of the fellowship highlights at Ivy Chapel for several years. It's always a lot of fun to see the kids dress up and get lets of treats.

Let’s bake bread together
As has become our tradition at Ivy Chapel, early in October members gathered together to learn to bake a variety of international breads. We shared the bread with the congregation on World Communion Sunday, the first week in October. This year, we made Mediterranean flatbread, Finnish barley bread and dark German Rye.

Record turnout for Blessing of the Animals!
Thanks to everyone who brought their furry (or shelled) friends to the 11th annual Blessing of the Animals at Ivy Chapel. We had a record turnout this year, despite the weather. And an extra-special thank you to everyone who made donations the Bi-State Pet Food Pantry. The food and funds will go a long way to helping struggling local families keep their pets in these tough economic times. [flickr album=72157627515776727 num=85 size=Thumbnail]
Kicking off a new school year!
We hope you were able to join us as we kicked off the new Sunday school year in grand style, with our (now) traditional outdoor worship! The kids encircled the pavilion making a joyful noise with their musical instruments. Our 2011-12 youth program is already off to a great start!
