FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHRISTMAS CAROLS WOR- SHIP SERVICE – Sunday, Dec. 27 at 10 a.m. Enjoy singing traditional Christmas carols on the Sunday after Christmas at Third and Adams Ave. BY CINDY WEELDREYER Sentinel Faith Page Editor C hristmas in Cottage Grove festivities on Saturday, Dec. 5, offered holiday activi- ties all day and all over town to usher in the Christmas spirit. Fortunately for all, the expected windy and wet weather arrived later that night. The day began with Breakfast with Santa at the Harrison Av- enue Fire Station. The Method- ist Church hosted an afternoon holiday concert featuring gradu- ate students from the University of Oregon’s School of Music. All-day holiday bazaars hap- pened on both ends of South River Road. The annual Pros- pectors and Golddiggers Bazaar at the historic Dr. Snapp House featured a beautifully decorated Victorian-era home built in 1886 by one of the town’s fi rst doc- tors. Down the road at Cottage Grove High School, the Dorena School Parent Club organized its fi rst bazaar with vendors of- fering a variety of food, hand- made crafts and unique gifts. Things really got busy at 5 p.m. after Santa Claus arrived on a fi re truck to sing Christmas carols and light up the commu- nity tree in Trailhead Park. As- sisted by his giant elf (aka Brad Cohen), jolly ol’ St. Nick went on to City Hall to greet children and hear their Christmas wish- es, while City Manager Richard Meyers snapped a photo of them next to the Christmas tree. The Main Street Program en- photo by Cindy Weeldreyer A hayride that included caroling in Cottage Grove neigh- borhoods was a highlight of the block party for many. listed downtown businesses to host a Scavenger Hunt as part of a holiday Art Walk. A South Lane Wheels shuttle ran between the Historic Downtown District and the Village Green Resort so people of all ages could en- joy the resort’s wedding garden magically decorated in a color- ful holiday light display. Over in the northwest neigh- borhood music played on the antique Victrola at the Cottage Grove Museum during the sec- ond annual Stained Glass and Candlelight event. The stained glass windows of the original Catholic Church were illumi- nated as historian Joanne Skel- ton described the backgrounds of the immigrant families that paid for them in the late 1800’s. On the other side of town the C.S. Lewis classic The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe holi- day production played to a full house. A real crowd favorite was the return of Cottage Grove Faith Center’s Block Party in the parking lot of the Shampoo Dolls day spa on the corner of 5th and Main Street. The lot was ringed with 75 lighted Christ- mas trees that were given away free to families at the end of the event. everal propane heaters kept people warm as they consumed 550 cups of soup, more than 1000 cookies and 500 hot bever- ages. The biggest crowd pleaser MOTHERS OF PRE- SCHOOLERS [MOPS] – Mondays from 6-8 p.m. An outreach ministry designed to support mothers and help them be the best moms they can be. MOPS is for moth- ers with children from birth to kindergarten. MomsNext is for mothers with school age children. Both groups meet at Calvary Chapel in the Village Shopping Center, 1447 Hwy 99.

Children enjoy memorizing Scripture verses, games, Bible lessons and dressing up for special theme nights. More in- formation can be found on the church website: www.cgbible. org. of Faith Center’s Block Party was the caroling hayrides that transported singers around the northwest neighborhood to en- joy colorfully decorated home and businesses. A large pickup pulled a cov- ered trailer decorated with white twinkle lights and hay bale seat- ing. Pastor Isaac Hovet and a pianist on an electronic key- board led the singing from the pickup bed. Each of the dozens of trips made between 5-8 p.m. was laden with carolers of all ages and each trip concluded with “We Wish You a Merry Christmas” as it returned to the loading area. Pastor Hovet said church members look forward to this event each year that requires more than 100 volunteers to or- ganize. He said approximately 75 people baked cookies, made homemade soup and donated rolls that took 29 food and bev- erage volunteers to serve it. For church volunteers, their most poignant moments were seeing people from a wide cross sec- tion of belief present and smil- ing. “We simply love this town and want to express that love by contributing our part to commu- nity events and initiatives,” Hov- et said. “The Christmas Block Party was another resounding success! It was incredible to see the looks of joy and merriment on the faces of old and young alike.” CHURCH BRIEFS CHURCH-SPONSORED COMMUNITY DINNERS Mondays – United Method- ist Church (second and third Mondays only) at 5 p.m. Tuesdays – Trinity Lutheran Church at 5 p.m. Wednesdays – Covered Bridge Church of The Nazarene at 6 p.m. Thursdays – Trinity Lutheran Church at 5 p.m. BAHA’I FAITH TEA AND PRAYERS Local gatherings are hosted by members of the Baha’i Faith in selected Cottage Grove sites and neighborhood homes.
