Christmas Pageant

December 15, 9:00 & 10:30

CHRISTMAS PRESENTATION SUNDAY 2024

A Children’s Christmas Presentationwill be held on Sunday, December 15 during both services.  

  • Children’s portion: Children from four years old (and those preschoolers who are a bit younger and were in last year’s pageant) through grade six are welcome to participate in the children’s songs on that morning.  Practices start on Sunday, November 17.  
  • Practice for the three songs to be learned will be held every Sunday morning from 9:50 – 10:20 in the K-2 room.  There are only four weeks of rehearsal, so please have your children at as many practices as possible.  
  • Practice CD’s of the three songs to be learned are available at the Welcome Desk.  The songs are available digitally as well.  Please pick up a CD this week!  This is the primary way to learn the songs—we really need your help, so please practice them at home.
  • What to wear for the Christmas presentation:  Children will be in costume (sheep, shepherds, angels, etc.).  Parents will fit their child for a costume at church.  It will be easy!  The costume room will be ready on Sunday, 
    Nov. 24.  More info to come on costume fittings.
  • Dress rehearsal for all participants:  Thursday, December 12, 6:00 – 7:00 in the sanctuary (preschoolers are usually dismissed a bit early).
  • Performance Day – Sunday, December 15:   All participants should arrive at 8:00 am to put on costumes in the Dining Room followed by practice at 8:15 in the sanctuary.  Families: Please commit to being in both services.  Families can leave after the music portion of the 2nd service if they wish.
  • Morning Schedule for participants: The kids’ music portion will take place during the first 20 minutes of the services.  Children will be walked to their classes after their performance.  K – 4 programming will be available after the music portion of the service.  
  • Club 56 will run as usual.
  • Non-participants: Please enjoy the Christmas Presentation with your families.  There is Preschool/K-4 programming after kids’ music portion of both services.   
  • PLEASE HELP: We need some parents for supervision and snacks on the performance day.  Please let Stacey Farley or Sandy Stanard know if you are available.
