Once again, adults supplemented the members of Junior Church to tell the
Nativity story at Saltaire Methodist Church. So many people were at the dress
rehearsal, they wondered whether there would be anyone left to be in the
congregation! Happily there was a good congregation, as husbands and other
relatives came to fill their seats.
The choir, now a year old, doubled as the Bethlehem Women’s Institute,
whilst non-singers had the ‘comedy parts’ and Junior Church members acted out
the heart of the story. Joseph ensured an authentic stable atmosphere by
bringing along a toy rat! But Willow’s solo to start Away in a Manger was
beautifully sung and brought everyone’s hearts and minds back to the story and
its message.
We thank Lesley for once again writing the script and directing the
players, Mags for training the choir which goes from strength to strength under
her direction and Carolyn for sorting costumes for all of us. As most were last
used by children of a previous Junior Church, finding enough that would cover
our sturdier frames did present her with a few problems! Thank you all!
