The kids all had parts in the Christmas program at church this morning, and I played in the band. It was quite a "different" program, and would probably even have been considered irreverent and maybe even offensive to the wrong crowd. But, our congregation loved it. One of our Overarching Principles is "Fun Is Relevant," and we really do push that to the limit sometimes!
We rehearsed Thursday evening, and again at 8:00 this morning. Sylvia got to snuggle with Baby Jace (who we called baby Jace-us today, because he was playing baby Jesus in the program) and give him a bottle. He is a very calm baby!
Sylvia played The First Noel to start the service.

All seriousness was lost when the Angel Gabriel appeared to "Zach."

Later, the angel appeared to Mary...

Eventually, Mary and Joe didn't have much money, so they took a Greyhound bus to Bethlehem.
Soon, it was time for baby Jesus to be born.

Gabriel told the camping college students to spread the good news about the Savior's birth...
The 3 Wise People heard the news and took an Uber to bring gifts of a Tesla, Premier Essential Oils, and the most stylish baby clothes to baby Jesus.

At first, I have to admit, it was pretty uncomfortable playing some of these songs for Christmas morning service, but in the end it was really fun.
Celebrate Good Times, Come On!
Jesus is born!
