[Magdalen] Greetings

[Ann Markle]

We had a fairly sparsely attended Advent 4 in the morning (about 17), but
most of our folks came back. Our only service was 4:30, and we had about
100. Lots and lots of kids, pretty chaotic, lots of fun. I attended a 10 pm
service at another church, and it was sparse, maybe 16.
