Impromptu Christmas Pageant: The children will participate in telling the Christmas story in whatever costume they would like! Dress up as Mary, Joseph, a donkey, or camel, Batmans, fairies, Pokemons, or dress up any way your child would like! If you do not have a costume, we have some available to grab before the service begins. They will join the manager scene when their character is called (whichever character they would like to be!). The Christmas story is meant for everyone! We will have multiple Josephs, some boys that want to Mary, and a superhero or two. It will be beautiful!
