Devin's Reflections

This year, our Christmas Pageant will be a little different - we are going it no-rehearsal style. No-rehearsal style means that we won't have a formal, required rehearsal.

There will be only one optional rehearsal which will take place on December 15th following the worship service. Joining for this rehearsal would be a great idea if you like to know what to expect or you want to try your hand at a speaking role - or at least one that feels more involved. More involved roles include: Narrator, Caesar, Mary, Joseph, Leader, Manager, Angel, and Wise People. (Don't worry, Jesus will be there but we're likely to use a baby doll for the role of Jesus.)

There are different ways you can be involved in the pageant this year! Some of you will take part in the story and help us to see and experience this familiar story as a living story, a story we all can be a part of. There will be four points in the story when we will pause and ask for volunteers to play parts in the story. If you wish to be a part of the story, all you have to do is listen closely, raise your hand, and you'll be invited up.

Whether new comer or long timer, whether young or young at heart, your presence and participation is welcome and wanted in this year's pageant. No matter if you come up or not, everyone is a participant in this service, for witnessing its creation is as vital as playing a part in it.

I am really looking forward to seeing you on Sunday, December 22nd at 10:15 AM for our Annual Christmas Pageant - if I don't see you at the rehearsal on Sunday the 15th after worship or sooner! We'll have costumes ready for you if you want to go all out or you can bring your own. I would never say no to a cameo appearance from a beloved stuffed animal either.
