WONDERFUL TIME AT THE PARADE!

The Candy Cane Gang
There was a cold breeze in the air, but it couldn't dampen our spirits as we paraded down the streets of Pelham in the annual Christmas parade. Everyone had a great time handing out candy canes with the message of Jesus Christ. We sang a few Christmas carols while we marched along, laughed and rang out the "Merry Christmas" greeting to everyone we could see.
The clubbers did an incredible job carrying the Canada and Awana flags, as well as the "Merry Christmas from Ridgeville Bible Chapel" banner.
Some of the highlights from the day included seeing familiar faces in the crowd, getting pictures with a "Bobby sized" Teddy Bear, getting candy canes from Santa and Mrs.Claus, pony rides and great eats.
Thanks everyone who was involved, in particular Kim Wiley, Al Nickel, Pauline Cooper, Laura Halek, Yvonne Labbe and those parents who helped walk with thier Cubbies.
AND.......DON'T FORGET THE CHRISTMAS CONCERT THIS TUESDAY AT 6:30 PM. Please be at the chapel for 6:15 pm and plan to stay afterwards for refreshments and goodies. See you then!

PARADE TODAY AT NOON!

Today is the day....the Pelham Christmas parade. Clubbers, please meet at Bethany Christian Reformed Church on Balfour St between 11:30-12 noon. We will get orgnized there and march on our way. We will be singing carols, carrying the Awana flag and reminding the public what Christmas is really about....the birth of a Son, given to man, to pay for our sins.
Let's pray for safety and a great time proclaming the good news of the Gospel to our community.
And remember....DRESS WARMLY! It's easier to take off layers than not to have any at all.
Pick up is at Centennial Park at the end of the parade. There are activities and snacks for everyone. Please remember parents, that at the completion of the parade, you will be responsible for your children. Thanks.
See you there!
