Baby Jesus is a girl (in Longsight!!!)


Last night we had a fabulous Christmas Play at our church. The kids were wonderful and the youth and young adults were great. The play was based on pirates stealing a treasure chest thinking that it was full of gold, however inside was a nativity scene. The narrator went on to tell the true nativity story revaling the 'treasure' of a nativity scene outside the back doors of church. We (Kids and Youth and us) were all outside sitting in a gazebo complete with Emily lying in a wooden box of straw. It was amazing to look out and see everyone lighting each others candles and singing Silent Night.
What a wonderful way to tell the Christmas story.
On a side note, Emily just lay there as if it was normal to lie in straw, waving her arms around and smiling.
