St Martin Christmas Program

Today we had a fabulous Christmas Program for Church. The entire Sacrament meeting, instead of talks, was made up of individuals reading scriptures about the birth of Jesus Christ, and singing– songs from the entire congregation, from individuals, from the Choir, and from the Primary and Priesthood! It was great!
