Father's Day 2008 -- Free Will Baptist Church; Sophia,

	The Free Will Baptist Church in Belo Horizonte, in Brazil, where Jim and Vicki Sturgill work presented their annual Christmas play and celebration on December 14 2008. The play was called "THE WAY OF THE CROSS", and featured different Bible characters presenting reasons why the CROSS, even though in the future for them, pointed to life that otherwise would not be possible. A choir, solos and duets added by their musical presentations to the significance of the message. A message followed using the theme "The Christ Child -- The Peace Child."
	"We had a great time at the Angel Christmas Breakfast. There were 22 children registered and then the adults that accompanied them. This was a great turnout. Young and old alike enjoyed the trip through Bethlehem. Caesar had decreed that there be a census through out the land. By this decree, everyone must report to Bethlehem to register their family for the census. There was of course the Census takers who registered everyone. The bakery smelled of fresh baked bread for visitors to sample, and there was also a rope maker teaching his craft. Although shopkeepers, craftsmen and food merchants planned for the crowds, there was be a shortage of rooms at the local inn." (By: Rama King)
