service for the masses.

won't be just a normal message but we will have awesome music, awesome musicians, we'll have different videos that will come on. it's an activity for the entire family. at the end of the service we want to take up an offering to help rural community residents that are in need. no doubt that need is present not just during the holiday season but certainly all year round. this is a new location for this event, you've done this event for years but you're doing it at a school auditorium so you can get more people that way. absolutely. our church only seats 160 people and every year that we do this it seems to be full. we've done a couple services in the past but this year we figured that one service we would try. the woodbury central auditorium will seat close to 400 people so it'll give us a different venue. you find that when the holiday season comes around that people get so caught up in the commercialism that sometimes we forget the true meaning or the true reason for the season. absolutely. that's the beauty about the christmas eve service, it kind of brings everything back into perspective. then when we send them away to be with families they're going with that fresh in their mind

jesus christ. they're not just giving out presents or a christmas trees or just christmas in general. it's a fantastic service, 5 pm christmas eve at the woodbury central school auditorium. for more information 712-873-3065 or you can go to the website newhopeinmoville.com. pastor thanks for joining us. thank you. thanks for joining us around siouxland. >> a train station in northeastern japan got its second cat "stationmaste r" today. in a ceremony full of feline pomp, a male cat named "love" was appointed nominal cat in charge of the station in fukushima prefecture. love replaces his predecessor, bus, who's 17 years old and isn't as spry as she used to be. she assumed the title in 2008, but had to step down due to old age. dressed for his christmas eve debut, love quickly
