City of Alabaster Christmas Parade…An Update

I received notice this week from the Alabaster Beautification Board that our Children’s Department received a 3rd place prize in the recent Alabaster Christmas Parade. The prize was awarded in the category of “Best Use of Theme”. The letter was very complimentary of our entry and came with a $100.00 check for Children’s Ministry.

We are very proud of these young people and want to extend a special thank you to Ms. Laura, Ms. Carrie, and Mr. Patrick for pulling this effort together.

Merry Christmas!

Ms. Barbara

City of Alabaster Christmas Parade

On Saturday Dec 6th The ATIK ministries Students and leaders and parents loaded up and participated in the Alabaster Christmas Parade. It was cold but we were excited about this because the new Drama team, Angels of Mercy, were going to perform for the first time today at the parade. We started out at the Pizza Hut and I think that we walked about 3 miles. We also had a truck with our little ones that were singing and throwing candy. During the trek to the judge’s platform we rotated from singing Christmas Carols and performing the Drama while we walked.

I am proud to say that our students represented the Alabaster Church of God wonderfully. As we approached the Judges I could tell that they were nervous but they did a great job, they received a standing ovation from the judging platform. I feel blessed to be a part of this ministry.

This could not have been done without Patrick and Carrie Sullivan, Jamie Fincher and of course Barbara Snyder.

Thank You

Wonder what’s going on in the youth and children’s department? Well . . . This is an exciting time of the year for us, as we are working on our Christmas play. We have been practicing every Wednesday evening (and will be practicing this Sunday night in lieu of The Attik). If you do not have a part in the Christmas play, please come anyway, as there will be a class held for you.

We will be performing the play on Sunday morning, December 21. Please come and see all of our youth and children perform – they have worked very hard. Today (Saturday, December 6) our kids actually performed their play during the Alabaster Christmas Parade. While it was a little cold, they had a wonderful time.

We are so thankful for all our kids and their enthusiasm. Thanks also to the parents who are always so willing to help with the kids.
