forward to your continued support.

of the Old Testament. Join us as we continue this exciting Cornerstone Scripture Study which will introduce you

still relevant and inspiring for us today. For the nearest
location and more details please visit our website at
www.thecornerstonescripturestudy.org, or call Jan Schuster at 314-822-2935.

Christmas at Ste. Gen
Hi! My name is Aidan Strauss and I am in Kindergarten at Ste. Gen. We had breakfast with
Santa on Sunday. It was so fun! We got candy and I got a balloon. Oh yeah, and Santa was there.
We had our Advent program this week. We sang, "There's a Baby Boy In Bethlehem." I had fun
watching the First Grade dance. I am also excited for Christmas break. Santa is on his way!!
Merry Christmas,
Aidan Strauss
