The Union Springs Presbyterian Church will be holding the annual Candlelight Christmas Program on Christmas Eve, Tuesday, December 24, at 7 p.m. The program honors the reason for the season, the birth of Jesus.
Members of the Church returning from WWII were so thankful for their safe return that they felt the establishment of the program was a fitting way to thank God for that safe return.

Jesus is the reason we celebrate Resurrection Sunday - better known as Easter. His resurrection from the dead after He was crucified for your sins and mine!
Before His resurrection, our Holy God the Father sent His Son, Jesus to be born as a baby and Christmas is when we celebrate His birth. This amazing, wonderful story can be found in the Holy Bible, in the Gospels. The book of Luke in chapter 2 is one of the best-known explanations of His birth.
Cass and his sister Cassie are a “Bonded Pair” and need to be adopted together. These two have been together their entire lives and we are truly hoping to keep them together for the rest of their lives. They were declawed by their former owner, who had to surrender the pair because of a change in her lease that no longer allowed her to keep pets. It was a sad day for the previous owner and our shelter as we are opposed to ever declawing an animal, as it is not only traumatic physically, but the cat will forever be special needs and unable to protect themselves.
