The children of Mission Hills United Methodist Church will be leading the community in re-enacting the journey of Mary and Joseph as they search for shelter in Bethlehem before the birth of Jesus on Sunday, December 10 at 4 p.m. “This story symbolizes how Mary and Joseph were turned down for shelter until one innkeeper made room for them in their manger,” said Rev. Jeanette Bragunier, Associate Pastor of Mission Hills UMC. “We strive to be open and welcoming to all and this demonstrates that even the Holy Family as sojourners were challenged in finding shelter,” shared Rev. Bragunier. The short journey will be narrated in English and Spanish and the public is invited to join in the procession beginning at the church steps and walking through the neighborhood and stopping at several locations to sing carols, before returning to the church for pinatas, crafts, and traditional Mexican refreshments.

The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee Conceived by Rebecca Feldman Additional Material by Jay Reiss Music and Lyrics by William Finn Book by Rachel Sheinkin Directed by Roxane Carrasco December 7-15, 2023 An eclectic group of six mid-pubescents vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home lives, the tweens spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life-un-affirming "ding" of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Six spellers enter; one speller leaves a champion! At least the losers get a juice box. Related links: San Diego School of Creative & Performing Arts: website | Instagram | Facebook
