Annual Christmas Pageant with a Twist

Angels Sandra, Christine and Karla
This past Sunday our annual Christmas pageant took a different twist -- a longer Christmas play.  Thank you to Rebecca for choosing the play and for our actors who brought the script to life.  It's about a busy Dad named Frank, who along with his wayward siblings, discovers the importance of family and some of the meaning of Christmas.

Megan, as Frank's sister, gives her excuse for not showing up for Christmas Dinner to Gram (Rebecca) and Pop  (John)
Frank (Allan) and Frank's son, Joey (Lena) and yours truly, as Carl, the wayward brother.  (The photo does not show clearly the brown moustache that was carefully placed on my upper lip and took forever to get off!)


A full angel chorus of all ages visits Frank during what turns out to be a very unrestful nap.

Grams (centre) hopes her adult children will see reason and show up for Christmas Dinner.  And, indeed they all do, with a renewed perspective on Faith and Life.  Thanks also to Carla, who played Frank's wife and Joey's Mom and to Joan, on piano, Joel as announcer and Shawn on camera!
