Children's Ministries Christmas Program -- "Manger Mania"
Join us on Sunday, December 20th at 11:00 a.m. as our Children's Ministries Department presents...
"Manger Mania"
This is the story of Christmas. . . told in a unique fashion! You've seen them all over the place. . . you know, all those NATIVITY SCENES! This is the story of Christmas as told through the perspective of each of the pieces of the nativity. . . in this musical you'll meet some of the animals who were displaced by the birth of Christ, and the Innkeeper who hesitantly gave up the manger for the weary parents. You'll meet three "cool eastern guys" who outwit the nasty Herod. . . it's a Christmas party like you've never seen before!
Bring your friends and family as our kids take an interesting twist on the Christmas Story!!
