Christmas is my most favorite time of the year.  Probably because I get to see all of my family, who I miss so much during the year (and my mom’s cooking is the best).  But, it just seems like there is something wonderful about Christmas that is not there during other seasons of the year.  Maybe it’s the decorations, or the joy that shows on the faces of so many people, or the music . . .  Anyway, that’s what I was reminded of while singing Sunday.  I was reminded of all of the blessings God has given us.  He gave us family and friends and this wonderful holiday and his precious son to save us.

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
