Throw back - a LONG WAY BACK! Christmas Program 2013

I was updating my blog today and saw that I had drafts of posts I never published.  No idea why I didn't post this one!  So here's a post from Christmas 2013 in Australia!  Please pray for the current pastor of Grace Baptist, Mark Pitts, who is undergoing cancer treatment in the US.

The church we were involved in when we were students in Australia, Grace Baptist, hosted a Christmas program and we were able to be a part of it!  It was called The Littlest Angel and was organized by our friend Dolly.  She did a great job and the kids were so cute!

 All the little angels - practice.

 Addy and her friend, Meridith.

 Dress rehearsal. All the angels talking about where in the world they think Jesus should be born.

 Jesiah met some "native" ni-Vanuatu and decided that Vanuatu would be a good place for Jesus to be born!

 The "animals" with the littlest angel in Bethlehem.

 Adults watching the production practice.

 

 Joel and Houghton

 

 

 All the kids from various locations around the world with the angels in the background.  How awesome is it that the teens were willing to dress up as animals?!  :)  These guys are great.

 Addy and Meridith are such a good match.  The perfect combo of girly-girl-ness.

 Gretchen and Kaiden made the cut for Mary and Jesus.  Hought was out of town so couldn't be Joseph.
