More Christmas Stuff at Clough

Whew! Just finished a busy Christmas season at Clough Pike Baptist. Well, actually, I guess it isn't finished, is it? Still have Christmas Eve service and Christmas Day, too! Well, here are a few of things we've been up to...

Annual Christmas Senior Luncheon. Below, Sarah and Lou Schott entertained the guests with a duet. The "awhhh" factor was off the charts. Entirely too cute.

Below, Tim Cherry and I try to figure-out how to work his keyboard.







Leo Waggal, seated above to the bottom right, always makes wood ornaments for every person who attends the luncheon. Leo is actually blind in one eye, but his craftsmanship is amazing! Below you can see the "door prize" that was given away, a working wood coo-koo clock.


Next on the calendar, two nights of Live Nativity. Perfect weather this year. These pictures were taken on the night when Live Nativity was staffed with a lot of teens from the youth group.







Below, Ken Harrell, the "fire man" for Live Nativity. Ken has some crazy concoction that he pours on the bonfire that keeps it blazing through both snow and rain.


Children's Choir. We performed it yesterday, the 17th. I led the kids as they sang "Children, Go Where I Send Thee" and "The First Noel." The kids did a great job.


Pre-school choir. Heaven help us! The children sang "Away in the Manger" with motions, and then "Happy Birthday" to Jesus. Somewhere toward the end of "Happy Birthday," I completely lost them: they all started singing different tempos at the same time, screaming as loud as they could. It was joyful. It was a noise. I guess it was a joyful noise???
