The Christmas Family Tree

Tonight was the fourth and fifth grade Christmas musical -- the Christmas Family Tree

The Christmasses (Merry, Jolly, Holly and Happy) are having their annual family tree trimming party for all the Christmas cousins.  When they invite their neighbor, Abbie Adams to join the fun, the Christmas family shares jesus' family tree from Matthew, Chapter One.  Through this geneology, Abbie Adams learns of Rahab's bravery, Ruth's loyalty, David's repentance, Josiah's wisdom and Mary and Joseph's obedience.  But most importantly, she learns that she, too, can be adopted into the Christmas Family Tree of faith!

It was a beautiful presentation of the gospel with lots of singing and a darling and very clever story line.

The family awaits a big surprise when Mr. Christmas gets home with a newly adopted sibling.  The message was clear.  We are adopted into God's family just like Angela Faith Christmas was adopted into the Christmas' family.  Sweet message!

Meet the twins . . . Holly and Jolly Christmas.

What a joy to celebrate the birth of Christ with school friends.
And hear truth proclaimed by children. . .just precious!!!
