Advent Drama "A Play in a Manger"

Advent Drama "A Play in a Manger"

On December 15th, at 11 am in our Sanctuary, Haygood Children will lead worship by performing an Advent Drama entitled "A Play in a Manger". This performance will bring the hope and joy of Advent to life.

The town of Centerton is preparing their annual Christmas Extravaganza–but this year it’s going to be bigger and better than ever, a real over-the-top display. The excitement is off the chart as the writer and director and legend-in-his-own-mind, Cecil V. DeVille, calls for pyrotechnics, sky-diving angels, dancing camels, and more. It’s obvious that this year’s production will be the greatest ever! But when catastrophe and calamity send those grand plans up in smoke, their epic production becomes an epic fail. Visions of grandeur are replaced with the beauty and power of the simple truth of Jesus’ birth: The Son of God, born to humble parents, lying in a simple manger, come to redeem. Now that’s epic!
