It seems hard to describe "The Best Christmas Present Ever" so I went to the trusty old internet to get a synopsis .. here is what is posted there:"RSVP to your invitation to the greatest birthday bash ever! This energetic children's Christmas celebration is overflowing with colorful characters, plenty of humor, a clever story, and a clear evangelistic message: what will you do when Jesus knocks on the door of your heart? Join skeptical news anchor Rod Stark as he covers a small story with a big message. Featuring the classic Carol Cymbala (Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir) song "Happy Birthday, Jesus," The Best Christmas Present Ever! will delight audiences of every age.
What an awesome program and presentation of the gospel!! Tyler's solo was in the second song, "Good News, Great Joy" and he was ready and waiting. I think it surprised Sandi at how well he would do but he seemed quite at ease. Especially at the end when he shared, "The innkeeper had no room at the inn and Herod had no room in his heart. How about you? Do you hear Jesus knocking at the door of your heart? Will you say 'yes' to him?" He patted his heart as he shared! In practice, one of the adults commented, "How could anyone say 'no' after that?"
So, here are a few photos from Sunday .. were there any glitches? Ha!! Of course! Right off the bat, the monitor didn't work which had the words of their songs .. but that didn't seem to dampen their enthusiasm! They sang their little hearts out!! What a message of salvation!!
It was so cute when the kids who didn't have speaking parts and the preschoolers joined the rest of the group for "Happy Birthday, Jesus", "Away In a Manger" and the reading of the Christmas Story by Ron Edwards. Ron does such an outstanding job!!
Miss Debbie, Victoria and Hannah sang, "What Will You Do With Jesus?" as Randy got ready to share how his life had been changed by attending this Christmas party!
Randy shared .. I was BC -- Before Christ .. but today it is AD -- an Amazing Day!!
