On December 9, 2018 approximately 80 people gathered in St. Simeon's for the Annual Christmas Pageant titled "What's so Special?" . As the children arrived, they were offered the opportunity to become either a Shepherd or an angel to take a part in the beautiful scene of the gathering at the manger. The atmosphere was electric by the time the service began as Cassie lit the 2nd Advent candle.
The Church was filled with happy and excited voices as families and friends gathered for the Annual Christmas Pageant on December 9, 2018. As the children arrived they were transformed into shepherds or angels. When the presentation started, Jenna called on an old friend, Lamb to help tell the Christmas story, as it had been passed down through her family from her Great, great +++++ great Aunt Baaa-rbara. Several children read parts of the story and as the story continued, a tableau slowly gathered around Mary and Joseph and the baby Jesus at the front of the Church The feeling of joy and expectation filled the entire gathering. At the offertory, children brought gifts to the steps of the chancel. These gifts will be distributed to children in our community.
The Christmas Pageant is organized by a team of dedicated lay people led by Edna Hall. The entire congregation thanks them for their succesful work in bringing joy to all who were present.
Special thanks to Lilly and to Cassandra for playing the roles of the baby Jesus and Mary so beautifully. Thanks to all who read their parts so well: Sheldon, Bobbi, Katie, Virginia, Victoria, McKenna, Ava, Julia, Russell, Emerson and especially to Lamb (Helped by Rolanda) and Jenna. Thanks to Janis and Gordon for their musical skills and leadership. Thanks to Rev. Tania Lesack, Deacon for the Laurentian Regional Ministry for her participation and leadership through the service. Thanks to all of the adults who willingly took their roles to the delight of all - even the three Wise Guys!
