I went in to the Church office yesterday. As I pulled up to park, there were two women wandering in front of the Church. I asked if they were looking for something and they said they used to go to St. Matthew years ago, like 30 and would like to see the Church. I took them in and they were very happy to reminisce. The younger woman went to school there when we had a school. One woman was from Tennessee and the other from Canada; they were visiting a relative in Skokie.
When I left the office, I noticed a shepherd in the Nativity scene was leaning. So I went to set him straight and noticed that Jesus was not in the manger. Oh no, did we have a thief stealing Jesus? I told Dana, our secretary and she was going to call the police after she talked to some of the guys that put up the Nativity. She went on a hunt in the building and found Jesus still on the shelf. Evidently the guys were going to wait till Christmas morning to put Him out and forgot. Mystery solved!
Happy New Year!

Thank goodness - a good ending.
So glad the baby was found! Can you imagine him sitting on the shelf thinking, hmmm they must have forgot me.
