A Merry Christmas Eve























Christmas Program 2017

 Ashlynn, Alisa, and Teddy played in the band for the prelude to the evening.

 K5 gave a poem about "The Christmas Lights Went Out" to start the evening.
Ashlynn's class did a reading.
 Each class did a Scripture passage or poem or song.  K5 said James 1:17 and sang the song "A Gift to You"!
 Our favorite part of the whole evening is when all the students and staff sing "Come On, Ring Those Bells"!  It gives me chills every time!  God has been good to our school once again this year and has provided for our every need
 Dad was in Germany for the week and we missed him.  It will be fun to have him home for at least two or three weeks in a row!  Merry Christmas to us!

"It's A Wonderful Life" 2017 FBC Productions

Our first production of the Christmas play "It's A Wonderful Life"!  What a fun opportunity!  So many people worked tirelessly to make it a success...and the goal of the event was to share the Gospel message to our community.

 It was fun to see so many of our church family come together and make the characters come alive and the set design work.  Hundreds of hours were given by people who caught the vision of Uncle Pastor!

 Teddy played Young George for the first scene and then acted as an extra in several scenes.  He also did a great job helping with the set changes!  Kari played Ma Bailey.

 Our makeup after our first performance...
 I looked pretty haggard after our make-up artist was done with me...and it didn't show up as good after the second night...because I was feeling haggard after the busy days.
 It was a lot of work...but it was a lot of fun to work with Uncle Pastor and our church family.  The spirit among this crew was fun and the people who chose to be negative and critical missed a big blessing of touching others!
An awesome set...neat costumes...great character matching...and lots of hard work!
