Tonight we enjoyed such a wonderful Christmas program put on by the children of our church with the help and organizing of Dawn Langenbach and Kitty VanderWey. And it was done before a FULL HOUSE!!! At about 6:50 the church was pretty empty .....hopes dashed ??......and then they started coming through the doors and they just kept coming until every possible seat was full. It was grand!!! So much fun to be able to spend Christmas Eve in such a way.
There was some talent before the program began with a piano solo --- a flute solo----- and a violin solo and perhaps some that we missed. Then Rick and Kitty entertained us with some Christmas songs with their voices and guitars.
And then the pictures will tell a little more.....
Let the program begin........ We will hear about all the fun things we enjoy at this time of the year ....things like shopping and the tree and Santa!!! . and then hear the TRUE meaning of Christmas -- through songs. And wow did those kids sing nicely!!
Carson, James, Evan, Micah, Sadie, Michaela, Lilly, River and Ivy.....
Carson, James and Evan sang their hearts out and aren't those two handsome in their suits!!!!
EVERYONE did such an awesome job!!! And thank you Marlys for your expertise on the piano with all those Christmas Songs!!!
And then were made a circle all around the church (inside) and were going to have a candlelight service while singing "Silent Night". Not figuring on such a large crowd......there were a few people without a candle....but the effect was still very special!!!!
It took a while to get organized with so many people. Silent Night never sounded so good!!! Afterwards people hung around wanting to visit with all their neighbors. What a fun night!! It truly is a blessing to be amongst God's people at this time when we remember Jesus's birth. May tomorrow bring you Great JOY!!!, Merry Christmas Everyone!!!!
