This year’s Christmas program will be held on Sunday, December 13 at both the 8:30 and 10:30 worship services.
There will be no scheduled Sunday school classes on December 13. Instead of missing half of the Christmas program, waiting in the hall for their singing entrance, children will sing in the script and then sit with their parents so they will be able to enjoy the entire program.
Parents, please bring your children to worship with you on December 13; have them sit with you and enjoy the Nativity Story.
Near the end of the program, the children will be asked by “Pastor Ted” (one of the characters in the play) to “come forward for the children’s sermon.” At that point, all the kids will get up from where they are sitting, and make their way into the center aisles closest to them. We will practice this with the kids in Sunday school. From the aisles, they will sing “Go Tell it on the Mountain.”
When the program is over, the Sunday school children will follow the direction of their music leaders to make their way to the front of the Sanctuary to sing a Christmas song. When they are done singing, they will be released back to sit with their parents for the rest of the service.
The preschool to Kindergarten students will sing only the refrain of “Go Tell it On the Mountain.” The first to fourth grade children, along with the cast, will sing the entire song.
There is a recording of the songs that the children will be singing so children can practice at home (click the arrow below). Lyrics are also provided at the bottom of this post.
Due to the changes made to the Sunday School children’s part in the program, we will not be having dress rehearsal on Saturday, December 12.
