On the Countdown – Christmas Program Day 5

Last night’s practice was long but great! So many people have worked and prayed so hard to pull this year’s Christmas Program together.  Almost 70 people from all walks of life bringing their gifts, time, and talents together to celebrate the birth of our King!  There are so amazing surprises in this year’s program!  I was really moved at several points in the practice last night – in times of worship, in the moments of Mary and Joseph’s interaction with their new new born, and in the celebration!  Just two days away!

I can’t wait for Sunday!  We’re praying off the snow!  Make sure you’re here! Bring somebody!

Christmas Program Countdown Day Four

Thursday!  We’ve got the initial put together under our belts and we’re ready!  It has been an amazing journey and I’m looking forward to tonight’s practice.  It is always incredible how all the various parts, people, visual elements, and much more pull together.  This is shaping up to be one of the best programs the Lord has birthed in our hearts.  We’ve got a few special effect elements to finish today and some music to tidy up and then we’re done!

I can’t wait for Sunday!

P.S. Thanks to Pastor Bob and Jimmy Weller for the promo on WGMD this week!
