“How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!”
Isaiah 52:7

Looks fun! Was the penny taken off the bear’s nose?
Saludos desde Buenos Aires, Argentina para la familia Staddon hermanos en Cristo Jesus: cuando se aproximan estas fechas finalizando diciembre, veo que lamentablemente los hermanos que creen en Dios y su palabra siguen en el error de festejar fiestas mundanas que no estan establecidas en la biblia, todavia no se dan cuenta que no exite estas fiestas, que es invento del mundo, que la biblia no nos manda a festejar el nacimiento de nuestro señor y salvador?, acaso dice la fecha en que naciò?, solo nos pide que recordemos su muerte y salvacion, el nacimiento del hijo de Dios es importante no hay duda, vino al mundo para librarnos de la muerte eterna y perdonarnos nuestros pecados, pero el creciò y viviò proclamando la verdad del evangelio y su muerte y resureccion es lo que nos marca a fuego a los que en èl creen. Hermanos los exhorto a que reconsideren el proximo festejo y que consideren que lo que dice la biblia: que aunque estamos en el mundo no somos de este mundo, somos pueblos excogidos apartados por Dios, para anunciar las buenas nuevas, que nos saco de tinieblas a la luz. Espero que me contesten el presente correo, los saludo con la paz del Señor.
I never heard about the penny on the bear’s nose. What is the story behind that?
I’m sitting on the balcony next to the bear right now looking down on his nose and I definitely don’t see any penny so something must have happened to it.
Someone had thrown a penny onto the bear’s nose during the October guys’ Journey. I heard it took them quite a few throws to get it to stay. Maybe it was a tip for the decorators?
@Daniel Our family found the penny when we were at HQ traveling through for the NBB.
We didn’t take it off though.
LOL! This is hilarious! Thanks for filling me in on the story.
