This past Saturday and Sunday evenings our First Baptist Kids put on a wonderful musical for Christmas called The Loaned Manger. The musical was set in the city of Incarnation in 1891. The railroad had finally come to Incarnation, too, with some interesting visitors.
The set with all the props was amazing.
The train at the train station even had steam coming up out of the smoke stack.
Addy had a solo. O come, O come Emmanuel and ransom captive Israel.
This Christmas we need more of peace, love, hope and joy. We need more of Jesus, this Christmas.
Glory to all the earth. Your light has come, shines in the darkness to all the world. Your Light has come.
After Addy’s trio it was time for the manger scene to enter stage right. JJ was a shepherd with a staff.
Addy sang her heart out!
Auntie Lolo and Uncle Joshie were sad not to be able to travel to see the musical but they made sure to acknowledge Addy and JJ’s hard work with these sweet bouquets with candy canes.
Well done dear Addy and JJ. Baba and Gramps were so happy to see your hard work pay off in a brilliant performance!
The whole production was the culmination of months of hard work on the part of the directors and kids. Such a great musical that gave honor to God. We are all outlaws that need pardoning and that is why Jesus came to earth as a baby on Christmas day with the view to His crucifixion on the cross for our sins. Thank you, LORD.
