On the Sunday that the church was decorated for Christmas, someone unwrapped the pieces for the crèche that usually gets set up in the library/lounge, underneath the bookshelf. When all the pieces were unwrapped, it was discovered that Baby Jesus was missing a hand! A careful search through all the wrapping disclosed the tiny ceramic "hand" piece that had broken off Baby Jesus while he sat in storage during the intervening year. Avoiding a tragedy, the thoughtful father of the family who was helping out offered to fix everything by taking home Baby Jesus and his broken hand and glue them back together. The picture here attests to his success! We are a "all hands" church. Just about everything we do together--in mission, in worship, in fellowship--is because someone volunteers to put the hand back on Jesus. It's often been said that the church is the hands and feet of Jesus. We make it so! Thanks for all in the church, here at Covenant and around the world, who put the hand back on Jesus.
