Biblical Personalities Will Appear at City Road Chapel United Methodist Church in December
Rev. Ray Newell portraying biblical shepherd
City Road Chapel in Madison will host the "Personalities of Christmas" during the Sundays of December. On December 3, Zechariah, the father of John the Baptist, will visit the church to tell of his experience of angelic revelation. On December 10, Joseph will struggle with the news that he is not the father of Mary's unborn child. Melchior, one of the Wise Men, will visit City Road Chapel on December 17, to tell about the star he has seen and what it means. On Christmas Eve, David, a shepherd out in the fields around Bethlehem, will share his story of the baby he found in a manger. Finally, on December 31, the Sunday after Christmas, Herod the Great, King of the Jews when Jesus was born, will have his say about his plans for this newborn king.
Each of these characters in the Biblical story will be portrayed by Pastor Ray Newell in first-person dramatic presentations. Everyone is invited to attend these special presentations during City Road Chapel's worship services at 8:30 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. each Sunday morning. The 8:30 worship is a more relaxed, "family oriented" service which includes a children's message and children's church for ages 3 through kindergarten. The 11:00 a.m. service follows a more traditional United Methodist style of worship. Nursery is provided during both services.
December will also be homecoming month at City Road Chapel as all past members are invited to "Come Home for Christmas."
City Road Chapel is located in Madison at 701 S. Gallatin Road, on the corner of Neely's Bend Road. For further information, call 615-868-1673.
