The Hallelujah kids at church (kindergartners and 1st graders) performed their Christmas play on Sunday. They did a great job practicing the last few weeks and were so excited about the performance.
Mary, Joseph, and Baby Jesus (aka Jenna, Luke, and Baby Susie) ready for dress rehearsal on Sunday morning.
Singing Joy to the World in dress rehearsal.
Away in a Manager in dress rehearsal. The kids did great in our two dress rehearsals Sunday morning in children's worship.
Sunday night we had one quick rehearsal in "big church" before our big performance. I was helping direct and had very few photos. "Mary's" mom sent me the great pics, which is why the photo quality in this post is so much better than my normal pics.
Let earth receive her king
Go tell it on the mountain . . .
As the audience sang The First Noel the shepherds came to visit Mary and Joseph. Mary picked up the baby and rocked him. And Luke, totally unrehearsed, reached his hand over and gently touched the baby as she rocked him. It was a melt-my-heart kind of moment. God is good. All the time, from the beginning to the end, God is good. Praise God for his good and perfect plan that is beyond my understanding.
After the play, Luke was congratulated and praised by so many in our church family. He's surrounded by cheerleaders. We are blessed.
Joy to the world! Merry Christmas to all!
