Ohhh - - the Sounds of Christmas  - - The Christmas stories - the wrapping of gifts - the cooking - - the songs - - the excitement of children sharing their 'wish list' - - the 'sounds of quietness' as you gaze upon the Bright and Shining Star that led the shepherds to the manger of Baby Jesus.    The sounds at the live Nativity Scene!  

Choirs from neighboring churches filled the little wood structure with sounds of  beautiful Christmas carols last  evening - (Thursday)  Dec. 2 - as Macedonia Baptist Church presented -  'Christmas in the Pines.   The live Nativity Scene brought beautiful sounds of Christmas.  A beautiful way to welcome the Celebration of the Christmas Season.

A little church history - - this little country church continues to worship each Sunday in the Original - One Room - Wood-Structured Church Building that was constructed in its current location in 1898.   This very small  'one-room' church currently re-lives some of its history  - - -example -  the original one-room church building - - -  the church drinking water resource is the original flowing water spring  - - the old wooden pews - - a replica of an old wood heater used years ago to provide heat - - although they still use this heater from time to time.   -- there are  descendants of worshipers from generations ago - - and the nostalgia from long ago.   Friends Roger Dunlap and his wife, Janice (Mack) pastor this wonderful congregation.   

The true 'Sounds of Christmas' cause us to reflect upon that glorious evening from over 2000 yrs ago on that special night that Christ was born.
