A church > that's less than 200 years old?? ;) Speak of the devil, yesterday's mail was a glossy postcard inviting me to 'Come Home for Christmas at Crosspoint'. There is also the 'Drive-Thru Live Nativity/Choir of Angels' on the 21th, 6:00-8:00 PM. That must be a pisser. I noticed they were building a rather large manger in the parking lot but I didn't know they'd lined up angels. I've only been there for events on New Years Eve but I figure a proper church should look like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ St._Francis_Xavier_Church_(Missoula,_Montana)
