"From the Manger to the Cross" Christmas Program 2011

One of the men sang a song my niece's husband wrote, "Did You Forget?", and the children joined him on the chorus. It was awesome.  Thanks, Dave, for your God-given talent.

We had a reader's theater type story that the older children and teens read. Actually, most of them had memorized their parts. The story line was remembering the REAL meaning of Christmas - that Jesus was born to die for our sins.  We used a song called, "Its About the Cross".  The teen girls sang the verses and the children joined in on the chorus. Everyone really sang out to the glory of God. 

Our little church put together a 12 piece orchestra.  They played "Away in a Manger" before the program started and ended with "Hark the Herald Angels Sing" as our special Christmas offering was taken.  We hope they play again, soon.
It was a great testimony to our Wonderful Savior.  I know there were several in attendance that do not know the Christ of the Cross.  Dwight sang "The Babe in the Manger" and we trust that these folks will realize  "Your way of forgiveness is not by the Babe, but the Christ who died for your sins."
