The Angels Give Glory!

Christmas Eve at St. Stephen’s was exciting!

The evening began with a parish-wide pot-luck supper.  And then it was time for the pageant!  Over 40 young people from both the Sunday worship congregation and the Afterschool program participated in this most-awesome Christmas Pageant!  There were angels, sheep, shepherds, manger animals, the star in the East,  Joseph, a baby Jesus doll, four kings, two Marys, narrators, and MCs.  The pageant was pantomime-style with congregational Christmas hymns throughout.

Following the Pageant, the adults remained in the nave for worship while the youth went downstairs and rotated through four activity stations: Christmas pictionary, Christmas bingo, Make-a-Nativity scence, and Christmas drawing and poetry.  Lots of laughter and high energy!

At the end of the evening, each youth received a donated Target gift card! And each adult received a donated poinsettia!
