The congregation at Vira First Methodist is very excited to be putting on the Christmas Pageant this year with their new actors. For the first time in 15 years they will finally have a live squidlin to play the part of Baby Jesus. No more plastic baby dolls for them!

Please join VFM December 24th at 7pm for the Christmas Pageant and candle light service. Desserts and coffee to follow in the newly refurbished basement! — via Etsy
