The children’s department of ACoG will be selling DVDs of the children’s musical performed in our sanctuary. If you know of anyone needing to purchase a copy of this please direct them to Barbara Snyder or Brandy Tiller. We have included all parts of the program including the call of salvation. We believe this could be another tool used to advance the Kingdom. This will help support the children’s ministry as all monies will go directly to the children’s department.

Thanks,
Children Dept. Staff

The children in our church performed a Christmas play this past Sunday and they did a wonderful job.  They had worked diligently for almost three months, practicing and working on getting it just right.  And it was just right.

As the children’s Pastor, Barbara Snyder, said, it is something about the children that packs a house; as it should.  We should all support our kids in all that they seek to do that will enrich their lives.  And the gospel of Jesus Christ will decidedly do that.

I just want to report here that they did do an amazing job.  From the smallest to the largest of them, they all seemed to be right on cue and if not, it was not noticeable from where I sat.  The play had them spelling some of the many names for Jesus that are found in the Bible.  Most of them got them right and I have a suspicion that even the ones who got them wrong, only did it to advance the script.

I was touched, moved and very proud of them.  Keep up the good work.

We would like to extend a special invitation for you to join us for our children’s Christmas program, The Christmas County Spelling Bee. Come join us in Christmas County, where everyone has gathered with great anticipation in the Town Hall. So many people want to participate in the annual “Live Manger Pageant” that this year the cast will be selected through a spelling bee competition. You see, nobody loses in this bee. Everyone participating will get a part in the pageant honoring our Lord today.

The contestants will be spelling the many names and titles of Jesus! Many scholars believe that there are over 700 different names and titles given to Jesus in Scripture and each one reveals to us more of His character and how He works in our lives. What an exciting time of year: Christmas! We are here to celebrate the true reason for the season: JESUS!

We have been praying that those who hear the program will come to a deeper understanding of what a truly wonderful gift God sent us in a manger bed over 2000 years ago. The program will be held on Sunday morning, December 21st at 10:45.

We are blessed to have had such wonderful help and support from the cast, the parents, church staff, and many others who helped with various aspects of this program. We could not do it without you!

Ms. Barbara & Ms. Brandy
