The Mogotian Nativity


The play is coming along well and soon! You can see we finished painting the background on the front wall of the church yesterday. Will finished some props of a manger and stable too.

The kids are quite excited. We had a dress rehearsal yesterday afternoon where we dressed 40 angels who managed to stay fairly clean in their white costumes, and about 20 shepherds wearing red and blue bandanas as ancient head coverings. It was mad chaos but fun.

We just have some last minute details to take care of before Saturday night but we are excited. In bible class last night Amber taught the kids three reasons that we are doing a Christmas play. They were quick to catch on and can all recite the three reasons.
1. To praise God
2. To share God with the community
3. To have fun

We pray that by doing the Christmas play we reach all of these goals :)

It is amazing to me that you had 40angels (a host by all counts) & 20 shepards & THE BABY & Mom & Dad on that small stage!...and how many people attended?

You guys are GREAT!
