'Glory to God in the highest ..."

Monday is Christmas and many area churches will be having special services this weekend - and at special times. Be sure and check with your local church for the correct time of these services.

"And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord." _ Luke 2:8-11. The angels and shepherds were among the participants in the annual Oak Ridge Christmas Parade on Dec. 9.
