Both boys had parts in our church’s Christmas play, The Missing Magi, this year. The play is about a group of kids putting on a Christmas play and was really cute! Trey had a couple of speaking parts & Jesse got to come in at the end as one of the homeless children and sing the last couple of songs. Even though they both missed the last practice on that Saturday due to them BOTH RUNNING FEVERS AND HAVING A STOMACH VIRUS, they were fever free by Sunday night and did an excellent job! My camera on the other hand did not do such a good job so not too many photos.
Our homeless women & children getting ready to “crash” the Christmas play. They did great…especially the ladies who really got into their roles!
It was another wonderful performance!!! Thank you to Mrs. Kay, Mrs. Lora, Mrs. Jessica, and all the other wonderful women who not only worked tirelessly to put this production together, but who work tirelessly with our children each and every week! I am so thankfully that my boys have each one of you to help guide them and teach them as they continue to learn and grow in Christ.
The Magi Visit the Messiah
After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem and asked, “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.” When King Herod heard this he was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him. When he had called together all the people’s chief priests and teachers of the law, he asked them where the Messiah was to be born. “In Bethlehem in Judea,” they replied, “for this is what the prophet has written: “‘But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for out of you will come a ruler who will shepherd my people Israel.’” Then Herod called the Magi secretly and found out from them the exact time the star had appeared. He sent them to Bethlehem and said, “Go and search carefully for the child. As soon as you find him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship him.” After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen when it rose went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was. When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. And having been warned in a dream not to go back to Herod, they returned to their country by another route.
